Special
Use
Airspace
Probably
more
has
been
written
in
the
past
few
years
about
special
use
airspace
than
about
any
other
subject
in
aviation.
The
FAA
issues
violation
notices
for
even
inadvertent
incursions
into
Class
B
airspace
(TCAs).
In
Class
C
airspace,
(ARSAs),
we
must
know
with
whom
and
when
to
communicate.
We
are
in
danger
of
being
shot
down
inadvertently
in
Restricted
areas,
deliberately
in
Air
Defense
Identification
Zones
(ADIZ),
and
of
being
set
upon
unexpectedly
by
military
aircraft
in
MOAs
(Military
Operations
Areas).
And
when
we're
not
busy
with
those,
we
still
have
the
Alert
Areas,
where
we
must
be
especially
vigilant,
and
Warning
Areas,
where
we
really
shouldn't
be,
but
they're
over
international
waters
so
they
can't
officially
tell
us
to
go
away.
What's
a
pilot
to
do?
If
he
has
an
Argus,
he
can
see
his
position
with
respect
to
all
categories
of
SUAs.
He
can
thread
his
way
down
the
Patuxent
River,
or
avoid
Class
B
airspace
with
minimum
disruption
to
his
flight
path
even
if
ATC
won't
give
him
clearance.
Unlike
airports
and
navaids,
SUAs
don't
advertise
themselves
in
any
visible
way,
and
yet,
as
they
proliferate,
the
task
of
coping
with
them
becomes
ever
greater.
The
Argus
shows
the
outlines
of
all
SUAs
in
and
around
the
United
States,
and,
optionally,
internationally.
In the
case
of
Class
B
and
C
airspace,
altitude
rings
and
restrictions
are
depicted
as
well.
Each
type
of
SUA
is
distinguished
by
several
characteristics:
1:
Class
B
and
C
airspaces
show
altitude
restrictions
in
the
familiar
sectional
form
with
the
upper
boundary
over
the
lower
boundary
separated
by
a
line.
In
the
Argus,
the
line
separating
the
altitudes
for
Class
B
is
thicker
(and
brighter)
than
the
line
for
class
C.
2:
The
actual
identification
number
of
the
area
for
SUAs
other
than
Class
B
and
C.
W-513
is
a
Warning
area.
R-2531B
is
a
Restricted
area.
ADIZs
and
MOAs
are
labelled
as
such.
There
are
examples
on
the
following
page.
3:
The
physical
appearance
of
the
area:
rings
for
Class
B
and
C
airspace,
long
straight
lines
for
ADIZs,
and
polygons
for
restricted
areas,
etc.
