So most of the airports and heliports in your vicinity have controlled airspace starting at the surface?
I reconciled Airmap mapping to that of an applicable VFR sectional. The two reconcile. Airmap is correct. Useless in this area for instant waiver authorization, but correct.
I live in northwest Arkansas (Walmart headquarters, Tyson Foods (poultry), JB Hunt (trucking). There is a business highway, and an intrastate highway that run parallel to each other separated by no more than 5 miles of space between them. Along that corridor, I have three class D airports with controlled airspace from the surface to roughly 4XXX' AGL. All three class D airports are in a row north to south. They cover 39 linear miles. Immediately to the west of these three is a class C airport with controlled airspace from the surface to 5300' AGL.
There are small gaps of class G airspace between each of the three class D airports, and the class C airport that otherwise effectively butts up against two of the three class D airport airspace.
Because the community has a nationally known retirement community (Bella Vista), there are a disproportionate number of heliports, for the competitive health care industry here...hospitals, and medical centers
Arkansas has a population of only three million plus people.
In northwest Arkansas, the majority of development is concentrated along the airport corridor I mentioned.
Therefore, without a waiver. I am in the boondocks.
Fortunately, there is a large by shoreline miles lake to the east of the corridor. It too is the boondocks, but at least it's not the otherwise endless forest and farmland of the Ozarks.
So, without a waiver, I'm either breaking the law, or I'm off to the boondocks. And that's ok because in the boondocks I am a lot less likely to have a potentially costly accident; therefore I can take a calculated risk, and skip the insurance.
Besides, I've seen enough commercial roof tops.
Even though Frank Lloyd Wright disciple Fay Jones called Northwest Arkansas home, the majority of the architecture here is commercial boxes.
Thanks for your help sorting this out.
