  1. The airspace reverts to Class E or a combination of Class E and G airspace during the hours the tower is not in operation. 
  2. The airspace designation normally will not change.
  3. The airspace remains Class D airspace as long as a weather observer or automated weather system is available.

    The airspace reverts to Class E or a combination of Class E and G airspace during the hours the tower is not in operation.

    (The airspace is class D when the tower is in operation but reverts to Class E when not. In some situations, the airspace can be a combination of E and G. Refer to “Class D: Definitions” video for more information.)
