CF National Airspace System

Regulatory airspace

Class A,B,C,D,E airspace, restricted areas, prohibited areas

Non regulatory airspace’s

MOA’s, CFA’s, Alert areas, warning areas, NSA’s

Types of airspace in both regulatory and non regulatory airspace’s

Controlled, uncontrolled, and special use airspace

Class A airspace Dimensions

18,000 MSL to FL600 including waters extending from 12 nm off the coast of the 48 contiguous states and Alaska

Is class A airspace shown on a sectional

No

Requirements to enter class A airspace

2 way radio communication, ADSB out, Mode C transponder, instrument rated on an IFR flight plan, speed restriction of Mach 1

Cloud clearance for class A airspace

None

Class B airspace dimensions

Tailored specifically for that airports needs, typically extends up to 10,000 MSL and 30 nm outer area

Class B airspace entrance requirements

PPL or proper endorsements, clearance to enter

Equipment needed to enter class B airspace

Mode C transponder w ADSB out and within the Mode C veil

Cloud clearance requirements for Class B

3 SM clear of clouds

Class B airspace speed restrictions

250 kts below 10,000 ft msl, 200 kts if below bravo shelf

What are VFR corridors

Airspace through class B airspace with defined vertical and lateral boundaries where nay aircraft can operate without an ATC clearance or communication, no more than 200 kts

What is a VFR transition

Specific flight course depicted on a TAC for transiting a class B airspace. Include specific ATC assigned altitudes and must obtain clearance before entering class B on the route

What is a VFR flyway

General flight path not defined as a specific course. Used by pilots planning flights into, out of, through or near complex terminal airspace to avoid class B airspace

Do you need ATC clearance to fly a VFR flyway

No

How is a VFR Flyway depicted on a sectional chart

Light blue shaded lines

Class C airspace dimensions

Inner circle = sfc to 4000 ft AGL charted in MSL usually 5 nm radius. Outer shelf = 1200 - 4000 ft AGL w 10 nm radius

Class C airspace equipment requirement

2 way radio communication (call sign must at least be read), mode C transponder w ADSB out required within and above the airsapce

Class C airspace weather minimums

3sm visibility, 1k above clouds, 500 below clouds, 2k horizontal

License/experience requirement for class C airspace and speed restrictions

At least student cert and 200 kts
