I just downloaded the file, and noticed there is no Class E airspace included. Is this going to be in a future update, or will in not be included at all?

Thanks,

Hello Kevin,

If you look a little lower on the airspace tab, you will find versions for Hang Glider and Paraglider pilots that include Class E2 surface areas designated for airports. This is because at least certain operations involving those aircraft are restricted in such areas. I don't have (and at this time I don't intend to have) versions that include other Class E areas, since they are not restricted areas for any aircraft -- they only affect VFR weather minima.
