A picture is worth...

Lets look at Controlled AirspaceBasically its airspace in which ATC services
are provided
Controlled airspace is designed around IFR traffic... But not to worry, VFR wasn’t an afterthought
![Page 6: Airspace](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ede550346895da95347/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Take it from the top....
Class A – Remember “Altitude”From FL180 to FL600For IFR Traffic ONLY (unless you somehow get
above 60,000...then it becomes class E again)Reset altimeter to Pressure Altitude (29.92)
once crossing 18,000

Class B- Busy AirspaceGenerally from SFC-
10,000AGL but is tailored to airport needs
It’s like an upside down wedding cake
You need a Mode C transponder and an ATL Clearance
Student pilots can only fly into the airspace with an endorsement
“Dirty Dozen” AIM 3-2-3
Examples:ATLLGAMCO

Class C – “Think Commercial”Generally from the SFC-
4,000AGLBut they can be tailored
Often has 2 “layers”First one is 5nm radius
SFC-4000Second one is from 5nm-10nm
1,200-4,000
You MustEstablish ATC communicationHave a mode C transponder to
fly within and over the airspace
Examples:SAVCHATYS

Class D – “Think Dialogue”Generally from the SFC-
2,500AGLBut they can be tailored
Often has a single “layer” extending 4nm from the airport
You MustEstablish ATC communication
Examples:PDKRYYFTYLZU

Class E- “Everywhere Else”1,200ft agl unless otherwise shown...
Sfc
700
As depicted by the blue zipper14,500 (found in the Western US) 1,500 AGL W. of longitude 160 G0`00”
in the Alaskan Peninsula Above FL600§ 71.71, FAA Aeronautical Chart Users Guide and AIM 3-2-6

Class G- “Ground” or “Gov’t Free:
Everything that isn’t A, B, C, D or E

RequirementsBefore we get into airspace entry
requirements...Memorize the following...
3sm (statute miles) 1,000 ft above
2,000 horizontal
500 ft below“3 Cessna 152’s” (will be written as) 3 1-5-2
Also memorize “5 F-111” which means 5sm vis. 1,000 above, 1,000 below and 1sm horizontal (written as 5 1-1-1)

Helpful Airspace TipsYou as a VFR pilot are not allowed in class AB is 3 miles vis. and clear of cloudsC and D are 3 1-5-2E below 10,000 is 3 1-5-2 E and G above 10,000 is 5 1-1-1 (anytime you are above
10,000 basically)
Anytime you are flying at night in class G- 3 1-5-2
Less than 1,200 in class G? 1 mile vis. and clear of clouds
1,200-10,000 in class G? 1 mile vis. and 1-5-2
