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.
Where do airplane have seat numbers?
Commercial airports have planes with seat numbers to assist boarding and the airspace connecting airports have planes in transit carrying passengers sitting in numbered seats
When is a mode c transponder required?
When in class C, B or A airspace, above 10,000 feet or within any 30 nm radius Mode C veil such as the one centered on KORD in Chicago. There are some limited exceptions - see FAR 91.215
What are the basic VFR weather minimums for operating an aircraft within Class D airspace are?
1,000-foot ceiling and 3 miles visibility.
What is international airspace?
Airspace is the part of the atmosphere that is controlled by the country below. For international airspace, the sovereign airspace of a country matches the maritime territorial limits and the space not in those limits is considered international airspace.
What Normal VFR operations in Class D airspace with an operating control tower require the ceiling and visibility to be at least?
1,000 feet and 3 miles.
Do airlines pay to use airspace?
No, because airlines belong to countries (British Airways-Britain, United Airlines-USA, Aer Lingus-Ireland), so as long as the airlines country has permission to use the other country's airspace, they have permission, but the airlines will have to pay commission fees to use airports, paying taxes for using the runway, using the terminal, gates etc. Hope I helped Source(s): I'm a pilot
What messages provides the details of the approved requests for airspace coordinating measures and is transmitted to all airspace users?
Airspace Control Order (ACO)
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 message provides the details of the approved requests for Airspace Coordinating Measures ACM and is transmitted to all airspace users?
Airspace Control Order (ACO)
An airport with its rotating beacon operating during daylight hours would indicate what status?
it indicates that the airspace surrounding that airport (5nm) is IFR and that VFR ops are not authorized.
When flying in the airspace underlying Class B airspace the maximum speed authorized is?
200 knots
