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.

Dont be fooled because you still have a transponder code. You must maintain VFR cloud clearances appropriate for the airspace. Youre expected to land as soon as practical if you go around, or stay clear of clouds until issued a new clearance. Thats a clearance, and changing runways requires permission.

If the restricted area is not active and has been released to the controlling agency, the ATC facility will allow the aircraft to operate in the restricted airspace without issuing specific clearance. MTR’s with segments above 1,500′ AGL are identified by a three-digit number. VFR pilots must file a D.C. SFRA flight plan.
