Still, good concise answer.
May 14, 2019 at 9:35 comment added quiet flyer Unfortunately the phrase "Designated as a Surface Area for an Airport" is somewhat confusing and would seem at first glance to also include E4 airspace, until we read further down the list. Also a reader not already well versed in the language at play here would tend to assume the E4 airspace does not touch the surface. To make everything more complicated still, the FAA often uses the simple term "Surface Area" even without the "designated for an airport" qualifier to mean the same thing as a "Surface Area designated for an airport", i.e. including E2 but not E4 airspace-- see for example
