When are two-way radio communications required when flying from Bishop Airport to McCampbell Airport at 2,000 feet MSL?

• A. Over rural areas
• B. Entering the Corpus Christi Class C airspace
• C. When crossing state lines
• D. During nighttime operations

Answer: (B)

Two-way radio communications are required when entering Class C airspace, which includes the area around Corpus Christi. Class C airspace has specific requirements for communication in order to ensure safety and effective coordination among multiple aircraft operating in the vicinity of an airport. This airspace extends from the surface up to a specified altitude and requires pilots to establish communication with the air traffic control (ATC) facility before entering. Thus, when flying from Bishop Airport to McCampbell Airport at 2,000 feet MSL and approaching Corpus Christi Class C airspace, pilots must contact ATC to receive clearance to enter and to ensure safe and orderly traffic management. Other scenarios mentioned, such as flying over rural areas, crossing state lines, or during nighttime operations, do not inherently require two-way radio communication unless specific airspace or operational regulations dictate otherwise.
