Quick question on class D airspace. Is there a set distance? Or is it up to the individual airport?
Yes I ran a search. The first result was "will pilots be replaced by UAV's?" I don't get on with flightinfos' search engine.
Here is the situation. On a visual into an busy airport without an approach control I checked in a 4.5 miles. The radio was out of control busy. 6 aircraft in the pattern, loads of them don't speak english very well. Corporate mixing with training aircraft. Nightmare. Captain says I checked in inside of airspace. I always thought class d was 4 miles but I can't find a set distance in the FAR. Checked 91.129.
Thanks for your time...
