Excerpt from the SAFE Library

| Resources Available to Members
From Teaching Classes E and G Airspace by Larry Bothe, MCFI: "As a DPE I find that more than a few Private Pilot applicants are confused about E and G airspace. And I used to struggle to teach it before I figured out the cause of the confusion and came up with a solution."
