Controlled Airspace

Controlled airspace is a designated area in the sky where air traffic control (ATC) regulates aircraft operations to ensure safety and efficiency. This type of airspace is structured at different altitudes and is often found around airports and key flight routes. Pilots must follow specific rules and communicate with ATC when flying in controlled airspace, while ATC provides guidance to prevent collisions and manage traffic. The aim is to maintain order in busy skies, allowing commercial and general aviation flights to operate safely alongside each other.
