At what altitude does the Class B airspace begin over Hayward Airport?

Class B airspace is designed to provide a safe environment for air traffic around busy airports, with defined vertical and lateral boundaries. Over Hayward Airport, Class B airspace begins at an altitude of 3,000 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL).

This altitude is set to ensure adequate separation between aircraft operating in the terminal area and those flying at lower altitudes, such as general aviation flights. By starting the Class B airspace at 3,000 feet MSL, air traffic control can manage the flow of traffic more effectively, reducing the risk of collisions and ensuring that commercial and general aviation aircraft can operate safely in the vicinity of the airport.

Understanding the specific altitude where Class B airspace begins is critical for pilots flying in and out of these areas, as it influences their flight planning, communication with air traffic control, and compliance with regulations.
