Class B, no longer 10,000?

Asked by: 942 views ,
Airspace

I'm might be wrong and forgetful, but since when class B at NYC, MIA, STL, CLE, PIT, PHL tops at 7,000 msl instead of 10,000msl? I could have sworn those all used to be SFC to 10,000 not too long ago.

    You must be getting old like me. CLE, PIT, and STL top at 8000 and the others at 7000. It has been that way, they were never topped at 10000.

    Class B is created by regulation. Whether circular or square and the altidues typically involve what the FAA is needed.
