Sure, but nobody does because it is too impractical.


People do it all the time. You could never get off a
field without a control zone (er um, surface area of
controlled airspace designated for an airport) with out it.

That's not what he meant.

That is for a very short period of time, just like descending below 700
feet on many IAPs takes you into Class G airspace.

I do it all the time. Try coming out of the Sand Canyon airport on a crummy
day.

Well, yes, technically you can but what do you do for an instrument
approach when you cannot leave the en route altitude under 91.177?

And, in any case, the airlines cannot fly IFR in Class G airspace except
when conducting weather avoidance. And, since most of them are above
14,500 these days that provision is mostly moot.

We have lots of uncontrolled airspace out here. Most of the smaller
airlines and air taxis have approval to fly in uncontrolled airspace.

I was speaking of the safe airlines. The FAA just doesn't learn from
its own history to let those jump jet airlines do that.
