Which airport is in Class D airspace?

• A. KGWO - Greenwood
• B. 0M8 - Byerley
• C. KVKS - Vicksburg Airport
• D. KTVR - Tallulah Airport

Answer: (A)

Class D airspace surrounds airports that have an operating control tower. It’s a surface area that typically extends up to 2,500 feet AGL within about 4 nautical miles of the airport, and it’s active only while the tower is open. Among the options, the airport at Greenwood has a control tower, so its airspace includes Class D when that tower is operating. The other sites listed are non-towered fields, so they don’t have Class D airspace (their airspace is governed by Class G or Class E, depending on the surrounding structure and weather). Therefore, Greenwood is the airport in Class D airspace.
