What is the airspace around the lawrence airport in massachussetts?

Question

and how far can I fly my ultralight up the merrimack river before I enter this airspace I want to fly over the old dutton and riverside airport sites in Haverhill but I dont have the sectional charts of this area. Please only respond if you know thank you

Answer 1

It looks like the area is covered by the Mode C requirement, so no ultralights.  The link below is an online sectional that you can zoom in and out to see the area.

Answer 2

First, get a sectional.  Second, chart your route.  Then look at whether or not you'll be in Boston's Class B airspace.  If so, you'll need to remain clear of it.  I assume you are referrring to KLWM, Lawrence Municipal airport.

It looks like KLWM is in Class D airspace. But there are also hours attached, so I'd check in a AFD for that region, which will give you that information.  I assume you are departing from KLWM.  It looks like to me, the Class D airspace would go from ground to 2600 feet MSL.  Which means, you'd have to have a transponder, two way communications, etc. that are required for operation in Class D airspace.

You might want to get with a CFI familiar with the area, get your charts and AFD, and take a little closer look, since I am not from the specifica area.

Answer 3

Buy a sectional and take a lesson on airspace... please.

Answer 4

I am sure this is not what you want to hear, however....

As you are opposed to paying for some "ground instruction",

I see a hefty fine imposed by the faa in your future.

I would bring up the sectional and Terminal Area Charts

to answer your question, however my going rate is $35 hr

for ground, and $55 hr for primary flight instruction, $75 hr for advanced instruction.

If I were to do this pro bono (as I do here on a daily basis)

I  just might be a unwilling participant  of a airspace incursion.

I cannot emphasize enough, see a flight instructor, buy him/her lunch for a 30 minute review of your local airspace.

Bos is no place to be messing around, if you enter controlled airspace, you WILL be intercepted, most likely detained and possible charged .

In this case, a ounce of prevention is worth much more

than a pound of cure

Do the right thing, I am sure the FAA would not be impressed were you to tell them "I got my flight planning info on Yahoo!Answers"
