BLADE/NIFE: FR&R (Airspace and General Flight Rules)
1. IDENTIFY the difference between controlled and uncontrolled airspace: -
Controlled: Class A,B,C,D and E. Defined dimensions where ATC is provided and
has authority/ability to control.
Uncontrolled: No ATC services provided. Class G
2. IDENTIFY the dimensions of and requirements for entry into the following
controlled airspaces: Class A: Class A: 18,000' MSL-FL600 in CONUS, within
12 NM of coast, most of AK. IFR Only. Instrument Rating, Mode C Transponder,
ATC Clearance, Two-Way Comms
3. IDENTIFY the dimensions of and requirements for entry into the following
controlled airspaces: Class B: Class B: Surface to 10,000' MSL around
busiest airports. Surface area + 2 or more layers. PPL minimum, VOR/TACAN
for IFR flights, Mode C transponder, ATC Clearance, Two-Way Comms
4. IDENTIFY the dimensions of and requirements for entry into the following
controlled airspaces: Class C: Surface to 4,000' AGL (regards to airport elev)
around airports w/ operational control towers. Class C can be tailored to
individual airport. 5 Nm Radius up to 4,000 AGL, and 10 NM radius from 1,200
AGL to 4,000' AGL. Mode C transponder, two-way comms
5. IDENTIFY the dimensions of and requirements for entry into the following
controlled airspaces: Class D: Surface to 2500' AGL surrounding towered
airports. Horizontal limits tailored to individual airport. Core radius of 4NM with
extensions for instrument approaches. Two way comms.
6. IDENTIFY the dimensions of and requirements for entry into the following
controlled airspaces: Class E: No defined vertical limit up to 18,000' MSL.
Generally begins at 14,500' MSL with exception for <1,500' AGL.
No pilot, equipment, approval or entry requirements.
7. IDENTIFY the dimensions of and requirements for entry into the following
controlled airspaces: Class G: Uncontrolled airspace. Where radar coverage
is incomplete or air traffic is minimal. Minimal guidance to pilots.
8. IDENTIFY the dimensions of and types of airspace that make up VOR
airways: 4NM radius from each side of centerline. Numbered same as highway
system. VOR airways exist in controlled airspace.
9. IDENTIFY the requirements for Mode C, in a classroom:
-All airspace at or above 10,000' MSL.
Class B:
-within 30NM of airport from surface to 10,000' MSL
