    Study Notes

    Airspace Types

    • Controlled airspaces include Class Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo.
    • Uncontrolled airspace is classified as Class Golf.

    Class Alpha Airspace

    • Entry requires ATC clearance.
    • Pilot must have an Instrument Rating (IFR only).
    • Two-way communication with ATC is mandatory.
    • Minimum visibility requirements: None, both below and above 10,000 FT MSL.
    • VFR cloud clearance is not required, both below and above 10,000 FT MSL.
    • Required equipment includes Mode C Transponder, two-way radio, and ADSB-Out.
    • Altitude ranges from 18,000 FT MSL to Flight Level 600.
    • No sectional identifier present.

    Class Bravo Airspace

    • Requires ATC clearance for entry.
    • Open to Private Pilots or Student Pilots with an endorsement.
    • Commonly found around the busiest airports.
    • Two-way communication with ATC is required.
    • Minimum visibility: 3 miles both below and above 10,000 FT MSL.
    • VFR cloud clearance requires being clear of clouds at all altitudes.
    • Sectional identifier is large blue surrounding circles.
    • Altitude ranges from surface up to 10,000 FT MSL.
    • Required equipment includes Mode C Transponder, two-way radio, and ADSB-Out.

    Class Charlie Airspace

    • Accessible with a Student Pilot Certificate.
    • Two-way communication with ATC is mandatory.
    • Minimum visibility: 3 miles both below and above 10,000 FT MSL.
    • VFR cloud clearance requires 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontal clearance.
    • Sectional identifier is a magenta circle.
    • Altitude extends from surface to 4,000 FT MSL.
    • Typically found at moderately sized, controlled airports.
    • Required equipment includes Mode C Transponder, two-way radio, and ADSB-Out.

    Class Delta Airspace

    • Entry requires ATC clearance if IFR; radio contact if VFR.
