Study Notes
Class A Airspace
- Extends from 18,000 feet MSL to FL600
- Operations permitted only under IFR (Instrument Flight Rules)
- 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)
- Permits operations under IFR and VFR
- Requires ATC clearance for IFR and radio contact for all aircraft
- 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
- Manages aircraft separations similar to Class C
- Two-way radio communication is also necessary
Class E Airspace
- Lacks defined boundaries except for airspace starting at 18,000 feet MSL
- Supports both IFR and VFR operations
- Requires ATC clearance for IFR flights
- Minimum qualifications for pilots are a Student Pilot certificate
- Handles aircraft separation for IFR and SVFR
- Two-way radio communication is mandatory
Class G Airspace
- Designated as "uncontrolled" airspace
- Extends from the surface up to adjacent airspace
- Permits both IFR and VFR operations without restrictions
- No entry prerequisites are required
- Minimum pilot qualification consists of a Student Pilot certificate
- Two-way radio communication is not required
