The NALF Fentress (NFE) Airport is in what type of airspace?

• A. Class E
• B. Class B
• C. Class C
• D. Class D

Answer: (A)

Class E is controlled airspace that provides IFR separation and transitions near airports. For many non-towered fields, the surface is not in controlled airspace (Class G) and Class E begins at 700 or 1200 feet AGL, unless there’s a designated Class E surface area to support instrument procedures. The NALF Fentress chart shows Class E airspace around the field, meaning IFR operations are conducted within controlled airspace and VFR pilots operate under the relevant weather minimums for Class E. This is different from Class B, C, or D, which are associated with busier, towered facilities with more restrictive entry requirements.
