CHAPTER TWO

6. A 4096 code transponder with Mode C automatic altitude reporting equipment, except for

helicopters operating at or below 1000 feet AGL under a Letter of Agreement. (ATC may

authorize a deviation from the altitude reporting equipment requirement immediately upon

request. However, a request for a deviation from the 4096 transponder equipment requirement

must be submitted to the controlling ATC facility at least one hour before the proposed

operation).

Airspeed

No person may operate an aircraft:

1. Within a Class B airspace at an airspeed greater than 250 KIAS unless a greater safe

airspeed is required for the particular operation.

2. In the airspace beneath the lateral limits of a Class B at an airspeed greater than 200 KIAS

unless a greater minimum safe airspeed is required for the particular operation.

Class C airspace consists of two circles, both centered on the primary airport. The inner circle has

a radius of five miles and extends from the surface of the primary airport up to 4000 feet AGL.

The outer circle has a radius of 10 miles and extends from 1200 to 4000 feet AGL. All aircraft

are subject to the operating rules and equipment requirements specified in the FAR-91. The

primary equipment requirements are an operable two-way radio and a 4096 code transponder with

Mode C (altitude encoding). Within the Class C airspaces, ATC will provide services specified in

AP/1 Chapter 3. Class C airspaces are depicted on Enroute Low Altitude charts and VFR

Sectional charts. Chapter 3 contains a complete list of Class C airspaces.

Flight Hazards

A list of states and the most notable flight hazards within these states is contained in this section

of AP/1. Prior to filing a flight plan, AP/1 should be consulted to preclude encountering a

dangerous situation within any of these areas. An example of a flight hazard listed in AP/1 is

shown in Figure 2-1.

SOUTH CAROLINA

JAMESTOWN VINICITY. The Martin Marietta plant and open

pit mine should be avoided. Blasting operations pose a potential

hazard to aircraft at low altitudes. Approximate coordinates are

N3318' W7942'. Charges as large as 10,000 lbs are set off 2 to 3

times a week and send debris several hundred feet into the air.
