The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has rules to keep air travel safe, and one big part of that is making sure airplanes have the right transponders. Transponders are an important part of an aircraft’s avionics system and help with tracking and safety. Key Takeaways Transponders aid ATC, safety, and tracking.

You just need to understand and follow the rules for this airspace. While there are often variations that are specific to the location, there are also commonalities found between the various Class B airspace areas. Like other types of airspace, Class B is considered regulatory in nature.

It’s the airspace system—and Class C airspace that keeps both IFR and VFR aircraft safe. Class C airspace is important for traffic separation between aircraft while flying. But before you can enter it, there are many important rules and concepts that as a pilot you must understand.

Key Takeaways VFR flight following offers real-time help and improves pilots’ situational awareness. Aircraft must have a radio and transponder to receive flight following. ATC will advise pilots using flight following services of any other aircraft observed on the radar that will be in close proximity.

Class B airspace features multiple tiers with shelves progressively spreading outwards up to 30 nm. Pilots must meet equipment and certification requirements and have ATC clearance to enter. VFR flyways, corridors, and transition routes help VFR traffic transit the crowded airspace. What is Class B Airspace?

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.
