Under what condition may an aircraft operate from a satellite airport within Class C airspace?
A
The pilot must file a flight plan prior to departure.
B
The pilot must monitor ATC until clear of the Class C airspace.
C
The pilot must contact ATC as soon as practicable after takeoff.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
Under 14 CFR 91.130(c)(2)(ii), a pilot departing a satellite airport without an operating control tower inside Class C airspace must establish and maintain two-way radio communications with the ATC facility having jurisdiction as soon as practicable after departing. No flight plan is required, and merely monitoring the frequency is not enough.
