Which airport is in class D airspace?

• A. Vicksburg
• B. Byerley
• C. Greenwood
• D. Tallulah

Answer: (C)

Class D airspace covers airports with an operating control tower. It typically extends from the surface up to 2,500 feet above the airport elevation, within about a four nautical mile radius, and requires two-way radio communication with ATC before entering. Greenwood is the airport in this list that has an active tower, so its surrounding airspace is Class D, making it the correct choice. The others are non-towered or fall under different airspace designations, so they aren’t Class D. If the tower isn’t in operation, the airspace can revert to a different class, but with the tower active, Greenwood sits firmly in Class D.
