Study Notes
Controlled and Uncontrolled Airspace Overview
- Class E airspace is classified as regulatory airspace.
- In controlled airspace, Air Traffic Control (ATC) provides traffic advisories to all aircraft based on workload capabilities.
- Class A airspace includes Flight Level 440 (FL440) over Alaska.
- Visual Flight Rules (VFR) operations are not allowed in Class A airspace.
- To enter Class B airspace while flying VFR, pilots must hear their call sign followed by "cleared into the Class B airspace."
- A VFR Corridor allows pilots to navigate through Class B airspace without being in the airspace itself.
- A student pilot can fly in Class B airspace if they have the required special endorsements and training for that area.
- The Mode C Veil is a designated area within 30 nautical miles of an airport, extending from the surface to 10,000 feet MSL, requiring aircraft to have an operating Mode C transponder.
Class C Airspace
- Class C airspace is typically structured with an inner circle of a 5 nautical mile radius up to 4,000 feet above airport elevation, accompanied by a larger shelf area.
- Parachute jumps in Class C airspace are prohibited unless prior authorization from ATC is obtained.
Class D Airspace
- If a Class D airspace control tower is closed but weather reporting services remain, the airspace defaults to surface-based Class E airspace.
- A two-way radio is the required equipment for operations within Class D airspace.
- Class D airspace that does not meet Class C requirements but is busy enough may use a Terminal Radar Service Area for additional radar approach and departure services.
Class E Airspace
- Class E airspace encompasses various specifications, and encompasses all answers provided in associated questions.
- Minimum visibility for VFR operations in Class E airspace at 12,000 feet MSL is 5 statute miles.
- VFR flights may occur in Class G airspace as long as minimum flight visibility and weather guidelines are adhered to.
Airspace Identification on Charts
- Class D airspace is visually distinguished on sectional charts.
- Surface-based Class E airspace can begin at 700 feet during certain effective hours.
- Terminal Radar Service Areas (TRSAs) are highlighted on sectional charts.
- Class C airspace is marked on IFR Low Altitude Charts.
- Mode C Veil areas are clearly identified on IFR Low Altitude En Route Charts.
