2) What is the official floor of the aerobatic box, NTSB states surface to

The boxes are, very unfortunately, not charted -- but they are listed in the
A/FD, along with their exact locations and dimensions.


How can the box be in the traffic pattern and still extend to the surface?

I think a better question is, "Would you want to fly your traffic pattern
through an existing aerobatic box? I would not.


3)see FAR 91.303(e) for aerobatic flight AGL limitations.

Waivers are available from the FAA and are often used to create aerobatic
boxes and aerobatic practice areas outside the restrictions of 91.303(e).

Take a look at the A/FD for the area, and do a Google search on aerobatic
boxes and practice areas, and waivers to 91.303(e). I think there is a lot
which doesn't get mentioned in the training many of us receive. Aerobatic
boxes and practice areas are one category which is often over looked.
