That's how you should scan for traffic-let your eyes rest in different areas for a while, rather than continuously scanning.
Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals.
is like climbing a ladder (north-south)
Latitude
is the long way around the planet (the Earth is fat cuz it spins).
Longitude
From 18,000 feet to 60,000 feet, all over the US.
Class A airspace
Surrounding major airports, 0-10,000 feet. Consists of multiple layers, like an upside-down wedding cake.
Class B airspace
Surrounding airports with a control tower, radar, and over a specific amount of traffic. Usually 5 NM (nautical mile) radius from 0-4,000 feet, and a 10 NM radius from 1,200-4,000 feet.
Class C airspace
Surrounding airports with a control tower. 0-2,500 feet, no specific radius, just shaped around flight patterns. Outside control tower hours, Class D airspace is Class G.
Class D airspace
Usually it starts at 1,200 feet and goes up to 18,000 feet.
Class E airspace
Uncontrolled airspace (below class E airspace).
Class G airspace
Places like Camp David and the White House.
Prohibited Areas (P-###)
It's not prohibited, but if you fly here, it could be dangerous. The government might be testing artillery or missiles or UFOs.
Restricted Areas (R-###)
Domestic and international waters, from NM outward from the US coast. It's cool to fly there it's just not really managed by the US.
Warning Areas (W-###)
MOAs consist of airspace with defined limits established for the purpose of separating certain military training activities from IFR traffic. Whenever an MOA is being used, nonparticipating IFR traffic may be cleared through an MOA if IFR separation can be provided by ATC. Otherwise, ATC reroutes or restricts nonparticipating IFR traffic.
Military Operations Areas (MOAs)
Depicted on aeronautical charts with an "A" followed by a number (e.g., A-
to inform nonparticipating pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or an unusual type of aerial activity. Think skydiving training facility
