Скачать или смотреть From the Flight Deck – East Texas Regional Airport, TX (GGG)

East Texas Regional (GGG) is a medium-sized, multi-use airport south of Longview, Texas. It has associated Class Delta airspace that underlies its Terminal Radar Service Area. Very few Terminal Radar Service Areas remain across the National Airspace System so pilots may not be familiar with the requirements for operating in them. Being aware of and fully understanding this type of airspace is critically important before leaving for East Texas Regional Airport.
