  1. Airspace FAA-H-8083-25A Chapter 14 Centennial Aviation Academy

  2. 3 Basic Types of Airspace • Controlled (most to least restrictive) • A • B • C • D • E • Uncontrolled • G • Special Use • Prohibited, Restricted, Warning, MOA, Alert and CFA

  3. A picture is worth...

  4. Lets look at Controlled Airspace • Basically its airspace in which ATC services are provided • Controlled airspace is designed around IFR traffic... But not to worry, VFR wasn’t an afterthought

  5. Take it from the top.... • Class A – Remember “Altitude” • From FL180 to FL600 • For 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

  6. Class B- Busy Airspace • Generally 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: ATL LGA MCO

  7. Class C – “Think Commercial” • Generally from the SFC-4,000AGL • But they can be tailored • Often has 2 “layers” • First one is 5nm radius • SFC-4000 • Second one is from 5nm-10nm • 1,200-4,000 • You Must • Establish ATC communication • Have a mode C transponder to fly within and over the airspace Examples: SAV CHA TYS

  8. Class D – “Think Dialogue” • Generally from the SFC-2,500AGL • But they can be tailored • Often has a single “layer” extending 4nm from the airport • You Must • Establish ATC communication Examples: PDK RYY FTY LZU

  9. Class E- “Everywhere Else” • 1,200ft agl unless otherwise shown... • Sfc • 700 • As depicted by the blue zipper • 14,500 (found in the Western US) • 1,500 AGL W. of longitude 160 ̊0`00” in the Alaskan Peninsula • Above FL600 § 71.71, FAA Aeronautical Chart Users Guide and AIM 3-2-6

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

  11. Requirements • Before 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)

  12. Airspace Vis and Cloud Rules: simplified

  13. Helpful Airspace Tips • You as a VFR pilot are not allowed in class A • B is 3 miles vis. and clear of clouds • C and D are 3 1-5-2 • E 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
