Cleared into someone else’s airspace?
Asked by: dsmit3000 2564 views Airspace, FAA Regulations, General Aviation, Private Pilot
Had a couple of situations recently with the congested socal airspace I fly out of. Sometimes the controllers will give vectors or instructions that would cause me to bust into another tower's airspace. Here are some examples:
- In class E airspace on flight following, which hands me off to class D tower. Class D tower advises a heading that would cause me to bust into an overlying class C shelf.
- In class E airspace on flight following, which advises a heading that would cause me to bust into a class D.
I would think that in both of these situations I am not allowed to enter the airspace mentioned, but I would like to confirm.
