Airspace on the go

Flash cards make it easy to learn

It is our responsibility to thoroughly understand and apply the rules that govern the sky: Our personal safety and hard-earned certificates are at stake if we don’t. But, remembering various airspace dimensions and depictions, including relevant regulations can be a daunting task, especially with looming pressure of an upcoming checkride or flight review.

That’s why ASI has developed airspace flash cards to make it practical for pilots at any certificate level to absorb and retain critical knowledge. The cards, which easily fit in your flight bag, include a color depiction of the airspace, a description of its characteristics, and a discussion question.
