Which airspace is indicated by thick faded magenta lines indicating transitional airspace that extends down to 700 feet AGL?

Which airspace is indicated by thick faded magenta lines indicating transitional airspace that extends down to 700 feet AGL?

• A. Class D
• B. Class E
• C. Class B
• D. Class C

Answer: (B)

The thick faded magenta lines show Class E that begins at 700 feet above the ground. This is transitional airspace where the floor is 700 AGL, so inside that area the airspace is Class E from 700 AGL up, while below 700 AGL it would typically be Class G if no other airspace class applies. This magenta shading is the chart symbol you’d look for to know that the airspace in that area isn’t Class G down to the surface, but becomes controlled starting at 700 AGL. Other airspace types are drawn differently: Class B is shown with solid blue lines, Class C with solid magenta lines, and Class D with dashed blue lines. The magenta shading indicating a 700 AGL floor specifically points to Class E starting at 700 AGL, not the surface or a higher floor.
