Study Notes

Class A Airspace

  • Pilots must be current, instrument-rated, and flying on an IFR flight plan with ATC clearance.
  • No cloud distance or visibility requirements since IFR flight rules apply.
  • No speed restrictions exist within this airspace.
  • Requires two-way radio communication.
  • Altitude-decoding transponder is mandatory.

Class B Airspace

  • A clearance from ATC is necessary prior to entry.
  • Acceptable pilot qualifications include a private pilot certificate or appropriate student endorsement.
  • Two-way radio communication is required.
  • Transponder needed within 30 nautical miles of the Class B primary airport.
  • VFR minimum visibility is 3 statute miles, both below and above 10,000 feet MSL.
  • Cloud clearance for VFR is to remain clear of clouds regardless of altitude.

Class C Airspace

  • For VFR flights, establish radio contact; IFR operations need ATC clearance.
  • Pilots must hold at least a student certificate.
  • Requires two-way radio communication before entry.
  • Altitude-decoding transponder is necessary within and above Class C limits.
  • VFR minimum visibility is 3 statute miles, both below and above 10,000 feet MSL.
  • Below 10,000 feet MSL, cloud clearance requires 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontally.

Class D Airspace

  • Establish radio contact for VFR; IFR flights must have ATC clearance.
  • A student certificate is sufficient to operate.
  • Two-way radio communication is necessary within this airspace.
  • No transponder requirements unless specified by other airspace.
  • VFR minimum visibility is 3 statute miles, both below and above 10,000 feet MSL.
  • Cloud clearance mirrors Class C requirements of 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontally.

Class E Airspace

  • No clearance required for VFR flights; IFR flights require ATC clearance.
  • A student certificate is the minimum for pilots.
  • IFR flights must maintain two-way radio communication.
  • No specific transponder requirements unless dictated by other airspace.
  • Minimum VFR visibility is 3 statute miles below 10,000 feet MSL and 5 statute miles above.
  • Cloud clearance below 10,000 feet is 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontally; above 10,000 feet, it's 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 1 statute mile horizontally.

Class G Airspace

  • No entry clearance requirements exist.
  • A minimum of a student certificate is needed to operate.
  • No communication requirements within this airspace.
  • No transponder requirement unless mandated by other airspace.
  • VFR minimum visibility is 1 statute mile during the day and 3 statute miles at night below 10,000 feet MSL; above that, it's 5 statute miles, except for aircraft at or below 1,200 feet AGL.
  • Cloud clearance below 10,000 feet requires 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontally, with exceptions for aircraft at or below 1,200 feet AGL, which must remain clear of clouds.
