Endorsements

Class B, C, D Endorsement

Operating out of our tower-controlled airport at Torrance, we can provide training and a logbook endorsement to operate in Class B, C, D airspace.

To receive the 61.325 endorsement a Sport Pilot will have to receive ground training in the operational aspects of flight into Class B, C, and D airspace, and receive flight training at a towered airport (3 takeoffs/landings to a full stop) to receive the endorsement - which will then be good in/at B, C, or D airspace/airports.

 

§ 61.325 How do I obtain privileges to operate a light-sport aircraft at an airport within, or in airspace within, Class B, C, and D airspace, or in other airspace with an airport having an operational control tower?

If you hold a sport pilot certificate and seek privileges to operate a light-sport aircraft in Class B, C, or D airspace, at an airport located in Class B, C, or D airspace, or to, from, through, or at an airport having an operational control tower, you must receive and log ground and flight training. The authorized instructor who provides this training must provide a logbook endorsement that certifies you are proficient in the following aeronautical knowledge areas and areas of operation:

(a) The use of radios, communications, navigation system/facilities, and radar services.

(b) Operations at airports with an operating control tower to include three takeoffs and landings to a full stop, with each landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern, at an airport with an operating control tower.

(c) Applicable flight rules of part 91 of this chapter for operations in Class B, C, and D airspace and air traffic control clearances.
