The Jackson approach non-radar vertical limit extends from the surface up to and including ___.

• A. 4000 feet
• B. 6000 feet
• C. 5000 feet
• D. 7000 feet

Answer: (C)

Nonradar approach airspace has a defined vertical limit—the top altitude up to which the controller can provide guidance without radar. For this Jackson nonradar approach, that limit is 5000 feet MSL, meaning the approach segments from the surface up to and including 5000 feet fall within nonradar service. This ensures obstacle clearance and procedural control using published altitudes and position reports, without radar vectors. Above 5000 feet, you’d be outside the nonradar service volume and would rely on radar-controlled airspace or another procedure. The published top of 5000 feet is therefore the correct limit for this approach.
