Study Notes
Class G Airspace Overview
- Class G airspace is classified as uncontrolled airspace situated beneath other airspace classes.
Vertical Limits
- Extends from the ground up to two elevations:
- 700 feet AGL (Above Ground Level)
- 1,200 feet AGL
- Additionally, it stops at the floor of any overlying controlled airspace.
Maximum Altitude
- The highest permissible altitude for Class G airspace is 14,500 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level).
Flight Requirements
- There are no specific requirements for pilots to operate within Class G airspace.
Night VFR Minimums
- For night visual flight rules (VFR), the minimum visibility requirement is a distance of 3 miles, following the 3/152 rule.
Daylight VFR Minimums Below 1,200 Feet
- Daylight VFR minimums for flights under 1,200 feet are more lenient, requiring visibility of at least 5 miles, adhering to the 5/111 rule.
