What You Need to Know About The Different Classes of
Controlled Airspace

Airspace is that area of the atmosphere owned and in
control by a country over its zone which includes water spaces. Controlled airspace
can be defined as that an airspace which lies within where the borders of air
control traffic services are delivered. The extent of airspace control depends
on the different classes of airspace. There are different classes of
controlled airspace ranging from class A to E. These classes will exhibit different
control levels by the federal aviation administration of different states. In
this article, you will learn more about the different classes of controlled
airspace. View https://www.flightliteracy.com/controlled-airspace/ 

Class A of controlled airspace is categorized as that
airspace that is 18,000 feet above the sea level within the borders of a
country. This also includes the water space and coastal line that lies within
the borders of the country. All airspace operations that are under this class
are regulated by what is called instrument flight rules. Here all flights are
provided with air traffic control services and they are always separated from
one another. Flights in class B controlled airspace share the controlled IFR
with class A controlled airspace and also provided with the air control
services and separated from each other. In terms of feet from the ground, the class is
10,000 feet above the surface of the earth.

Class C controlled airspace is the airspace that is above 4,000 feet above the surface of the
airport. This class is busy and has an operational control tower, also serviced
by a radar approach control which is not the case when looking at controlled
airspace classes A and B. Most people describe the outlook of class C
controlled airspace as a wedding cake that is turned upside down. Class D
controlled airspace is the one that surrounds minor airports that also have control
towers and it extends up to 2,500 feet above the sea level. learn more here

Class E airspace is that airspace that offers adequate space
for controlling safely and also for separating airplanes during the instrument
flight rules operations. In most countries like the United States, the big area
of their airspace is selected as class C controlled airspace. This class of
controlled airspace begins from 14,500 feet mean sea level. Finally, there is a
class that is called class G uncontrolled airspace, which is that airspace that
hs not been selected as class A, B, C, D or E controlled airspace.
