Final answer:

The question about the floor of Class B airspace at Dallas Executive (RBD) requires an analysis of the sectional aeronautical charts, which depict the structure and altitudes of controlled airspace. Without access to the referenced Figure 25, Area 3, it is not possible to accurately determine the correct altitude of the Class B airspace floor for Dallas Executive (RBD).

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is related to Geography, specifically to aviation regulations concerning airspace. To address the question regarding the floor of Class B airspace at Dallas Executive (RBD), it requires an understanding of the sectional aeronautical charts and the structure of controlled airspace. Although Figure 25, Area 3 is not provided here, typically Class B airspace is depicted on these charts with solid blue lines and altitudes for each segment are provided within the blue lines. The floor of the Class B airspace doesn't necessarily start at the surface; it usually begins at a specified altitude above Mean Sea Level (MSL). The specific altitude at which the floor of Class B airspace begins can vary, and this information is usually found on the sectional chart itself or in the chart's legend. Without the actual chart, we can not provide a correct answer to the question, as this information is location-specific and changes from airport to airport.

Final answer:

The exact floor of Class B airspace at Dallas Executive Airport (RBD) cannot be determined without access to the specific aviation chart (Figure 25, Area 3). However, in typical charts, Class B airspace can start at either the surface, 3,000 feet MSL, or 3,100 feet MSL, depending on the specific airport and airspace configuration as depicted on the chart.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is related to interpreting aviation charts, specifically Class B airspace boundaries for Dallas Executive Airport (RBD). Looking at the referenced airspace chart (which is not accessible here, but based on typical Class B airspace configurations), we can infer answers to the question and the airspace floor. Class B airspaces are often depicted as layered shelves, with the floor of the airspace at various altitudes. The question requires knowing the exact chart to give an accurate answer. If Dallas Executive Airport is depicted with its own airspace segment within Class B, the floor could either start at the surface if RBD is covered fully by Class B, or at a higher altitude specified on the chart if it lies under a higher shelf of the Class B airspace.

Without direct access to the chart (Figure 25, Area 3), the precise answer cannot be given. However, options 1) 'at the surface', 2) '3,000 feet MSL', and 3) '3,100 feet MSL' reflect possible altitudes where Class B airspace floors often begin. In standard charts, these figures are depicted amongst sectional chart symbols indicating the vertical boundaries of controlled airspace around airports.
