Class B Airspace

Class B airspace surrounds the busiest airports, typically including major metropolitan areas. It extends from the ground up to around 10,000 feet and is designed to organize and control the large volume of aircraft arriving and departing. Pilots must obtain explicit clearance from air traffic control before entering this space and are required to have specific licensing and equipment. The goal is to ensure safe and efficient movement of high-traffic flights by regulating access and providing clear instructions. Think of it as a highly managed corridor for the most airport-centric flights to avoid congestion and maintain safety.
