Airspace Classes

Airspace classes are categories that organize different parts of the sky to ensure safe and efficient aircraft operations. Each class has specific rules regarding who can fly there, aircraft altitude, and communication requirements. For example, Class A is controlled airspace for high-altitude IFR flights, requiring strict clearance and instrumentation. Class B surrounds busy airports with controlled access, while Class G is uncontrolled, open to all pilots without special permissions. These classifications help manage traffic, reduce collisions, and coordinate authorities’ oversight, ensuring safety for both commercial and private flying activities across different regions and altitude levels.
