How do I figure out the airspace class around a hospital helipad? Hospital helipads are shown on the charts, simply as the name of the hospital, followed by (R), then with a number (which I assume is above ground elevation). Thanks!
Maybe you can answer this one too:
Generally speaking, in class G airspace, is the minimum allowable elevation above the ground 1000 feet for something like a Cessna? Sometimes I see small planes flying around and I’m sure they are under 1000 feet. Thanks!
What are some of the more common situations when the 1000' rule does not apply in Class G airspace? I'm assuming weather is one of them. What about non-weather related situations? ThanksDon't be fooled by the 1000' rule. There are many, I mean MANY situations where that does not apply.

Thanks. When you get back: if a pilot is just out flying his cessna for recreation in class G airspace, on a clear day, must he always remain above 1000'?I'm on my way out the door but some examples:
Search & Rescue
MediVac Heli
Thanks, I will check that out. I'm in Canada but the rules are likely similar. I'll look for the Canadian equivalent. Thanks very muchSpaceDan, check out FAA regs 91.119. I'd include a screen shot but my iPad is acting stupid at the moment. Remember, this is for aircraft only.
Yeah, that DOES make a diff. Should be similar for CAA.Thanks, I will check that out. I'm in Canada but the rules are likely similar. I'll look for the Canadian equivalent. Thanks very much
