	the lower limits of radar/radio coverage up to the ceiling of approach controls 
	delegated airspace.

19.  3-2-4(d)(3): Yes, two-way communication has been established.

20.  3-2-4(f): Assuming VFR from IFR - visual, or
				     - 500 feet vertical, except when operating beneath a 
					heavy jet, or
				     - target resolution

21.  3-2-5(a): Surface to 2,500 feet AGL, laterally to contain any instrument approaches

22.  3-2-5(b)(2): Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, an operable two-way radio.

24.  3-2-6(e)(5): 1,200 feet AGL up to 18,000 feet within 4nm of centerline unless 
	otherwise specified.  The airspace is Class E.

25.  3-2-6(e)(7): 14,500ft MSL

26.  3-4-1: Restricted, Prohibited, Warning areas, MOA's, Alert Areas, Controlled Firing 
	Areas.

27.  3-4-3(a): Activities that must be confined because oftheir nature or limitations 
	imposed upon aircraft operations that are not a part of these activities or both.  
	They denote existence of unusual, often invisibile, hazards to aircraft such as 
	artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or guided missiles.

28.  3-4-4: - It denotes the existence of activity that may be hazardous to 
		nonparticipating aircraft.
	    - They normally extend out from 3nm of the US coast.

29.  3-4-5(a): For the purpose of separating certain military training activities from IFR 
	traffic.

30.  3-4-6: High volume of pilot training or unusual type of aerial activity.

31.  3-4-7: There is no way to tell where they are, so you cannot avoid them.  Activity 
	should cease as you near, so there is no danger to you.

32.  3-5-1(a): The area within 10sm of an aiport where a control tower is not operating 
	but where a FSS is located.  The FSS will provide advisory service to arriving 
	and departing aircraft.

33.  3-5-2(c): To denote areas below 10,000ft for operations at speeds in excess of 250kts.

34.  3-5-2(d)(1)(a): With three numbers; e.g., IR206, VR207

35.  3-5-2(f): FSS's within 100nm

36.  3-5-3(h): Only for TFRs which are designated for - providing a safe environment for 
							the operation of disaster releif 
							aircraft.
						      - to prevent an unsafe congestion 
							above an incident or event that 
							may generate a high degree of 
							public interest.

37.  3-5-4(a): A/FD

38.  3-5-4(c): - Altitude
	       - Position in relation to the airport
	       - The approximate relative time when the jump will commence and terminate

39.  3-5-5(a)&(c): - VFR Flyway: a general flight path for use by pilots planning flights 
			into, out of, through or near complex terminal airspace to avoid 
			Class B airspace.  ATC clearance is NOT required.
		   - VFR Transition Route: A specific course depicted on a TAC for 
			transitioning a specific Class B airspace.  ATC clearance IS 
			required.
