Does AirMap tell me what type of AirSpace I'm in.

[Chip D]

I realize I'm a rookie on the use of AirMap, so please cut me some slack.
But I'm wondering if I can visually tell if I'm in Class A-G airspace with AirMap. It would make our life easier I'd think. The colors that I'm in at the office (light tan or light mustard or whatever) doesn't tell me that I can fly there, even though it's within 5 miles of an uncontrolled airport.
Just wonderin'.

I don't know about the classes, but I found that if you click/tap inside a prohibited area you'll get a list of the prohibited areas on the bottom; just click the drop down on the right and it'll give you a list of each one as well as a contact phone number if available.

Yes, I knew that. But I was looking at AirMap to tell me right away whether or not I was in G Airspace. Didn't want to have to print out a sectional Air Map.

With the new regs, knowing airspace is important. You can change to 107 mode and use that for airspace. Might affect LAANC though misreporting you as 107 rather than recreational.

Certainly some things are always in a state of flux. I was going to fly from the East St. Louis side of the MIssissippi towards the arch, which I did last year and it was ok. But now looking at AirMap, both sides of the MIssissippi are shaded Red. Of course I could launch a boat down the middle of the river and fly "into" a National Park area and that would probably be legal as I'm not taking off or landing in either side. Just trying to wade myself through this.

Well if you are in Class A Airspace, congrats as it starts at FL180 and goes to FL600 ( that is 18,000 to 60,000 feet above MSL)

Learning to read a sectional is not a bad thing, especially online maps that show TFR's and such while you are looking for NOTAMS and DROTAMS.

The hardest part of the Part 107 test is reading a sectional. Once you have a working knowledge of it as a hobbyist ,it will enhance your knowledge of aviation as a whole.

That may lead to your getting a 107 license and maybe do some hours as a student pilot.

TFR's are here: TFR Data Elements

online sectionals and such are here: SkyVector: Flight Planning / Aeronautical Charts

PS the colors show terrain height, the legend is available on the sectional chart

Yes, example below:

I also think a VFR sectional chart is the only real legal way to determine airspace. I'm curious if skyvector updates it's charts every 56 days with the release of new FAA charts.
