Some Class E airspace begins at an MSL altitude depicted on the charts, instead of an AGL altitude. Class E airspace typically extends up to, but not including, 18,000 feet MSL (the lower limit of Class A airspace ... airspace above FL 600 is Class E airspace. Federal Airways, which are shown as blue lines on a sectional chart, are usually found within Class E airspace. Federal Airways start…

Class D Airspace Class D airspace is generally airspace from the surface to 2,500 feet above the airport elevation (charted in MSL) surrounding those airports that have an operational control tower. The configuration of each Class D airspace area ... individually tailored and, when instrument procedures are published, the airspace is normally designed to contain the procedures. Arrival extensions for instrument approach procedures (IAPs) may be Class D or Class E airspace. A remote pilot must receive ATC authorization before…

Class B Airspace Class C Class D Class E Class B Airspace Class B airspace is generally airspace from the surface to 10,000 feet mean sea level (MSL) surrounding the nation’s busiest airports in terms of airport operations ... passenger enplanements. The configuration of each Class B airspace area is individually tailored, consists of a surface area and two or more layers (some Class B airspace areas resemble upside-down wedding cakes), and is designed to contain all published…

clearance is required for all aircraft to operate in the area, and all aircraft that are so cleared receive separation services within the airspace. The cloud clearance requirement for VFR operations is “clear of clouds.” b. Operating Rules ... Pilot/Equipment Requirements. Regardless of weather conditions, an ATC clearance is required prior to operating within Class B airspace. Pilots should not request a clearance to operate within Class B airspace unless the requirements of 14 CFR sections…

However, this changes when access to controlled airspace is desired. All access to controlled airspace by unmanned aircraft must be granted by ATC. NOTE-1. While the NAS is divided into controlled and uncontrolled airspace, users must remember that ... airspace is regulated, and certain rules apply throughout the NAS. 2. Recreational flyers are limited to no higher than 400 feet AGL in Class G airspace, without prior authorization. 3. sUAS remote pilots operating under 14 CFR part…

Controlled Firing Areas (CFAs) CFAs contain activities that, if not conducted in a controlled environment, could be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft. The difference between CFAs and other special use airspace is that activities must be suspended when a spotter aircraft ... radar, or ground lookout position indicates an aircraft might be approaching the area. There is no need to chart CFAs since they do not cause a nonparticipating aircraft to change its flight path. Other Airspace Areas “Other airspace areas…
