Mode C veil

Mode C veil

Mode C veil refers to a kind of airspace which surrounds most of primary Class B airports within United States. This airspace extends horizontally to a circle of 30 NM radius centered on the airport and extends vertically from the surface up to 10,000 feet MSL.[1] The name refers to the mode of transponder operation which is required within this airspace. Out of 37 existing (as of late 2011) Class B airports in the United States,[2] 35 airports (i.e., all but 2) have Mode C veil centered on them.[3] The only two that don't are Houston Hobby Airport and Miramar Naval Air Station.[4]
