Airspace

Wait nevermind, I see the "K". Might be easier to look at a sectional layer
 
You ask a very vague question while presenting a non-standard map layer.

Better map:

At OTM: class E surface up to (but not including) 18k ft, followed by class A up to FL600, followed by class E again. So three.
Outside of OTM's dashed magenta: class G from surface to 700 ft, then as above. So four.
 
5. G, E Surface Area, E 700’ Floor, E 1200’ Floor and A.

EDIT: 6. There’s also E above 60,000
Umm isn’t Ottumwa in a control zone so no Class G? My answer is 3: E-A-E

How many different airspaces?

2. Echo twice.

There’s Class G up to 700 outside the Class E Surface Area (called Control Zone many years ago.) And then there is G up to 1200 farther out.

The question is poorly worded. I assumed it meant directly over the airport and not all the airspace in the general vicinity, hence my answer since there’s no Class G over the airport.
 
I don't think I've heard that term used since it was removed from US regulation since the 1991 regulatory change removing it in favor of alphabet airspace went into effect.
I’m old.

I have no idea why I said control zone instead of saying E goes to the surface inside the segmented circle, but I did and have to own it.

Nah ... just edit, deflect, & obfuscate ... i.e. get political with it! :biggrin:

Yeah. That’s probably what he meant. But it was more fun to do the whole picture.

OK.

"ECHO.....echo"
"ECHO.....echo"
