Using the magenta circles
A friend recently asked me to explain the magenta circles seen around
numerous airports on sectionals. It got me to thinking about how useful they are. Personally, if the weather isn't good enough to fly VFR in Class E airspace, I'm not going to fly VFR, even if it is legal in Class G airspace. So, for me, it is pointless knowing where the boundary is between Class E and Class G airspace. But I was curious to know if there are pilots that take full advantage of this distinction. Does anyone actually make use of the Class E/G boundaries depicted on sectionals? If so, how? I suspect the most common use is doing T&Gs in the pattern below 700 feet AGL when the weather is marginal. Other uses? |
