Study Notes
Airspace Classes
- Class A airspace extends from 18,000 feet MSL to FL 600. It includes airspace over coastal waters within 12 nautical miles of the contiguous US states and Alaska.
- It also includes designated international airspace beyond 12 nautical miles.
- Class A airspace is not charted and covers areas within radio navigational signal or ATC radar coverage.
- Pilots must comply with instrument flight rules (IFR) and obtain ATC clearance.
- This airspace is known for having positive control, where controllers separate all aircraft.
Class B Airspace
- Class B airspace extends from surface to 10,000 feet MSL.
- It surrounds the busiest airports.
- Aircraft in this airspace must maintain radio contact with ATC and follow their instructions.
Class C Airspace
- Class C airspace extends from surface up to 4,000 feet above airport elevation.
- It surrounds medium-activity airports with control towers.
- Pilots must maintain radio contact with ATC and comply with visibility and cloud restrictions.
Class D Airspace
- Class D airspace extends from surface up to 2,500 feet above airport elevation.
- It surrounds airports with operational control towers.
- Pilots must maintain radio contact with ATC and comply with the applicable regulations.
Class E Airspace
- Class E extends (generally) to 14,500 feet MSL.
- It surrounds airports or segments of the country not covered by other classes of airspace.
- It includes all airspace not covered by classes A, B, C, or D.
- It's characterized by upward extensions for instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures and ATC service.
Class G Airspace
- Class G airspace is uncontrolled airspace.
- It's the least restrictive.
- Pilots in Class G airspace are responsible for their own separation from other aircraft.
- It's usually located away from major airports and below 1200 feet AGL.
Special Use Airspace
- Prohibited areas: No aircraft operation allowed.
- Restricted areas: Limited operations, certain conditions apply.
- Warning areas: Hazardous activities occurring.
- Temporary flight restriction (TFR): Temporary restrictions imposed for various reasons.
