C Class G. Which initial action should a pilot take prior to entering Class C airspace? A Contact approach control on the appropriate frequency.
How is Class C airspace depicted?
Class C Airspace, indicated by a solid magenta line. Class C Airspace shows up on the map around larger airports as a solid Magenta line. They have a layer similar to class B airspace, but on a smaller scale and typically with only one other shelf.

TRSAs do not fit into any of the U.S. airspace classes; therefore, they will continue to be non−Part 71 airspace areas where participating pilots can receive additional radar services which have been redefined as TRSA Service. These airports can’t be redrawn as class B or class C airspace so they became TRSAs.

Do you have to be a pilot to change a TRSA?
Within a TRSA the (vfr) pilot is not required to participate. However, within Class C airspace a (vfr) pilot is required to participate. If a Radar Facility Manager wants to change a TRSA and make it Class C airspace a staff study must be done and proper justification has to be documented and approved.
