Each is defined by varying ceilings and visibility. VFR = Ceilings greater than 3,000’ AGL and visibility greater than 5 miles MVFR = Ceilings between 1,000’ and 3,000’ AGL and/or visibility between 3 to 5 miles. IFR = Ceilings between 500’ and 999’ AGL and/or visibility between 1 and 3 miles.

Since Class “E” airspace is basically “everywhere”, most of the focus is placed on identifying the ceiling and floor of the airspace. Class E airspace rarely goes all the way to the surface, and in non-mountainous terrain, the floor of Class E airspace is typically 700 feet or 1,200 feet AGL.
