During SVFR within class C, which location is referenced as a directional constraint?

During SVFR within class C, which location is referenced as a directional constraint?

• A. South of Langley
• B. North of Langley
• C. East of Langley
• D. West of Langley

Answer: (A)

Special VFR operations in Class C are restricted to defined portions of the airspace, with directional constraints shown on charts. In this scenario, the corridor for SVFR is south of Langley. Staying south keeps you inside the portion of Langley’s Class C that ATC designates for SVFR and provides the necessary radar service and separation. If you were north of Langley, you’d be in a sector where SVFR isn’t authorized under these constraints, so the southern area is the correct one. The other directions place you in parts of the airspace not approved for SVFR here.
