What are the different classes of aviation airspace?
Airspace in the US is classified into the following categories: A, B, C, D, E, and G. The airspace is ordered from Class A-Tightest control to Class G-No control. Class A airspace is anywhere from 18000 feet to flight lever 600 (approx. 60000 feet); all aircraft in class A airspace must fly IFR (instrument flight rules) and stay in contact with ATC. The required separation is also greater in class A airspace. Class B airspace surrounds larger airports, and consists of 3 or more "shelves". Class B airspace looks somewhat like an upside down wedding cake. In Class B airspace, all aircraft require a specific clearance to enter or fly through the airspace. Class C airspace Surrounds smaller airports, and looks like an upside down cake with only two layers. Aircraft entering class C airspace need only establish two way radio contact with ATC before entering. Class D airspace has the same restrictions as class C, but has only one layer. Class E airspace encompass everything from 1200 feet to 18000 feet that is not Class B, C, D, or, G. Sometimes the base elevation is lower or higher that 1200 feet, but 1200 is the normal base. Class E also encompasses everything above Flight Level 600. VFR (visual flight rules) aircraft are not required to contact ATC in class E airspace. IFR aircraft maintain ACT contact in class E. Class G airspace is uncontrolled, and usually extends to anything below 1200 feet. Even IFR aircraft do not contact ATC in class G airspace.
What are the lateral dimensions of Class D airspace based on?
The lateral dimensions of Class D airspace are based on the instrument procedures for which the controlled airspace is established.
What class of airspace is acrobatic flight prohibited?
Class E airspace below 1,500 feet AGL.
When flying in the airspace underlying Class B airspace the maximum speed authorized is?
200 knots
What the slowest speed for aircraft in Class D airspace?
I don't think there are limits to how slow an aircraft can fly in any airspace.
What does a blue circle on a Sectional Chart depicts which class airspace?
Class C for example KSRQ.
What is the normal radius of the class couter area airspace?
20 nautical miles
What minimum visibility and clearance from clouds are required for VFR operations in Class G airspace at 700 feet AGL or below during daylight hours?
1 mile visibility and clear of clouds.
In the tower the local controller is responsible for controlling the traffic in the air and off the runway within which class of airspace?
Class D
Do you need to file a flight plan and or get flight following to go under class bravo airspace while VFR in the JFK region and Philly Region?
You're not required to, but it would definitely be a good idea.
What is The vertical limit of Class C airspace above the primary airport is normally?
4,000 feet AGL.
When flying in a VFR corridor designated through Class B airspace the maximum speed authorized is?
200 knots.
