    WOW!! I've spent my life in General and Commercial Aviation. More than 50 years. In that time I have always know, specifically, what my rules were.. Maybe it's because my livelihood depended on it..
    Thanks for the link Bill but like Sam.. after about page 3 it fried my old brain... Thanks for your link too Sam but I think I am pretty familiar with "airspace"..
    I think 103.17 was established to keep "me" from having a windshield full of ultralight when I breakout on an approach in low vis conditions.. the base of "controlled airspace" in a magenta shaded area is 700 agl. usually associated with a non-precision approach. The ' Class E Surface Area", is designed by a magenta dashed line.. (usually associated with a Precision Approach)..it's lateral limits are not equal to the 700ft vertical limits...
    So .. as I see it an ultralight can not operate inside of a magenta dashed circle (without permission) but may operate below 700ft in a magenta shaded area...
