Study Notes

Airspace Classifications and Regulations

Class B airspace has a speed limit of not applicable above FL100 (10,000 ft).
Class B airspace separates all aircraft; VFR (Visual Flight Rules) operations are allowed.
VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions) in Class B requires being clear of clouds and in sight of the surface.

Control Zones and Traffic Management

Control zones extend laterally at least 5 NM from the center of an aerodrome.
Speed limit below 10,000 ft in Class E airspace is 250 kt IAS (Indicated Airspeed).
FIS (Flight Information Service) provides collision hazard information in Classes C, D, E, F, and G.

IFR and VFR Operations

VFR flight in Class E requires no two-way radio communication.
Danger, Prohibited, and Restricted areas are designated by a country identifier, a P/D/R, and a number.
VFR traffic is separated from other VFR traffic only in Class B airspace.

Control Areas (CTRs and CTAs)

CTR (Control Area) and CTA (Control Zone) primarily manage IFR traffic.
Speed limit for VFR traffic in Class C airspace below 10,000 ft is 250 kt IAS.
Control zones extend from the surface to a specified upper limit and include an advisory service for IFR traffic.

Upper and Lower Airspace Boundaries

The lowest height of a CTA above ground or water is 200 m.
The upper limit of a CTA is defined by a VFR flight level.
UIR (Upper Airspace) lower boundary must be at a VFR flight level.

Advisory and Traffic Information Services

Class D airspace allows both IFR and VFR; IFR traffic receives advisory ATC for separation.
In airspaces E and G, VFR can be conducted without a radio.
In Class C airspace, all IFR flights are separated from each other and also from VFR traffic.

Flight Services in Various Airspace Classes

Class E airspace provides ATC to IFR flights and FIS to VFR flights.
In Class C airspace, IFR is separated from IFR, and both IFR and VFR receive separation from other traffic.
