I had a question similar to the savanah tower question but there were no MSL/AGL identifiers and had to guess what they were asking based on the context " What is the height of the tower at..." - The only question on the test I missed. The three answers were the correct MSL, correct AGL and one being the max height in the section (if I remember right). I chose the AGL which was apparently wrong.
on the last question you said the shaded magenta line tells us it extends to 700 feet AGL , so if thats the case, what would the line looked like if it was 1200 -- or would the airport be outside that shaded area? If so, then the shaded line doesn't matter only if its inside or outside? Still confused
The appearance of the airspace class border that tells you the elevation. He got 700 from the magenta border that's faded inward. 1200 AGL would have a blue border that's faded outward.
To summarize, class E & G are shown in AGL. The bigger number is most likely MSL.
Thanks man. Wasn't too sure about this before but that clears things up. Much appreciated.
This solved so many of my questions, thanks.
Thank you for making this fantastic video
Thank you for sharing!
Good to know. Some places forget to make it clear that B-C-D is in MSL and E-G in AGL.
Thanks you, great explanation
This cleared up a lot for me!!
Why does the sea have to be "mean" to get a measurement? What if the sea is nice, calm and flat?

Thankful this cool instruction
That last one is even more confusing. How do you even know it's 700? IT doesn't say it anywhere on the map.

Joe Gowac i think I read that’s class E with floor of 1200 agl is not depicted.
It would look the same but blue instead of magenta; see the VFR sectional legend.
The last one stumped me. Where did you get the 700 from on the map?

@@kombolasha He still didn't even explain that.
@@diggity1039 you’re right; he didn’t. He should have told viewers to consult a VFR sectional legend; that’s how he knew about the 700 AGL.
