For example, a pilot flying IFR in controlled airspace will have to file an IFR flight plan and receive an ATC clearance. For VFR flight, controlled airspace means increased cloud clearance and visibility requirements. For the VFR pilot flying in B, C, and D airspace, there are communication and/or clearance requirements.

While Class E airspace is considered controlled airspace, you do not need an ATC clearance to fly in it. 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. But how can you know the difference?

It typically begins at 1200 feet AGL but can start lower in some locations. No ATC clearance is required for VFR flights below 10,000 feet. The 1200-Foot Rule Usually, Class E airspace starts at 1200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). They allow you enough clearance to see and avoid other airplanes.

Additionally, a pilot should report any of the following events:: When vacating any previously assigned altitude or flight level for a newly assigned altitude or flight level ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an altitude change will be made if operating on a clearance specifying VFR-on-top. ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an approach has been missed. (

If operating under visual flight rules (VFR), yes, a pilot may fly through a military operations area (MOA) without receiving a clearance or communicating with ATC; however, it’s important to understand the risks and activities present within an active MOA.

Before entering Class C airspace, pilots must receive clearance from Air Traffic Control (ATC). Before flying into Class C airspace, a pilot must obtain a clearance from ATC. Flight Plan and Clearance : Before entering Class C airspace, IFR aircraft must file a flight plan and receive an ATC clearance.

To taxi from the ramp to the runway at a towered airport, (across the “movement area”), you need to receive a taxi clearance from the Ground controller. That’s ideally a cylinder around the airport with a 4 NM radius and extending to 2500 feet AGL, however, local variations are probably more the rule than the exception.
