- Requires ATC (Air Traffic Control) clearance for entry
- Minimum pilot qualifications are IFR-rated
- Two-way radio communication is mandatory
Class B Airspace
- Covers the surface up to 10,000 feet MSL
- Handles "busy" air traffic with IFR and VFR (Visual Flight Rules) operations allowed
- Entry requires ATC clearance
- Minimum pilot qualifications include a Private or Student Pilot's license with restrictions
- Two-way radio communication is required
Class C Airspace
- Extends from the surface to 4,000 feet AGL (Above Ground Level)

- Minimum pilot qualification is a Student Pilot certificate
- Manages aircraft separations for IFR, SVFR (Special VFR), and runway operations
- Two-way radio communication is necessary
Class D Airspace
- Vertical dimensions range from the surface to 2,500 feet AGL
- Allows both VFR and IFR operations
- Requires ATC clearance for IFR and radio contact for all pilots entering
- Minimum pilot qualification is a Student Pilot certificate
