Airspace Classification

Airspace classification refers to the categorization of different areas in the sky to organize and control air traffic safely. Each class defines rules for pilots and aircraft, such as communication requirements, altitude restrictions, and access limits. For example, some areas are highly regulated for commercial flights, while others may allow recreational or private flying with fewer restrictions. These classifications help ensure safe separation between aircraft, streamline traffic management, and maintain order in the sky, similar to how road signs and traffic rules organize vehicle movement on roads.
