Jim Sweeney, USUA and NAPPF Board Member
The bulk of the airspace everyone shy of an Air Transport Pilot flies in is class E and class G airspace. Recognizing what is what and where is where is still a mystery for some. Unfortunately, the training chart put out by the FAA is not the clearest. Well, Jim Sweeney helps us take some of the mystery out of reading the sectionals and the US Airspace at a Glance Chart. To follow along, you may want to visit: Reading the US Airspace at a Glance Chart. SweeneyCorp, USUA, NAPPF.

Remember, if you have any questions you want to ask the guests or you have any of your own comments about a topic, please call the show toll free when we're live at (888) 514-2100. If you have a show idea or know someone that would be a guest on the show (that could be you!) Contact Roy.
