Sport Pilot Talk

OK, so I have what's probably an easy question but I just can't seem to find an answer. Here in Louisiana we have some Delta airspace airports that also have TRSA's (LCH & MLU) around them. I understand the rules about operating in B,C, and D airspace, I have to get checked out. How about these TRSA's that surround/buffer them? It sounds like the ATC is optionally offered like flight following??? In some cases they extend out a good distance, while it appears that I could fly under them or over them I can't find anything that would allow or not allow me to fly through them operating a light sport aircraft as a light sport pilot. I understand these areas were never covered under classified airspace, in some cases they morphed into C or B like areas around CLE. Can I get a clarification from a more experienced pilot or controller?!?

Ed,

You're question is probably best answered by calling your nearest FSDO, but short of that, I'd call EAA or AOPA and see if either of these groups have already addressed the question to the FAA.

If you are flying in class B, C, or D airspace then you need the airspace endorsement. If you are flying in class E or G airspace you are OK, even if it is part of a TRSA associated with class D airspace.
