Key Takeaways Airports that fall under Class C designation handle general aviation and airline traffic. Aircraft need to have a two-way radio, transponder with Mode C, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment. Before flying into Class C airspace, a pilot must obtain a clearance from ATC.

Pilots must meet equipment and certification requirements and have ATC clearance to enter. Keeping jet traffic safe alongside slower general aviation aircraft is harder still. All aircraft inside the veil must have an operating Mode C transponder and ADS-B Out. Your IFR clearance authorizes you to fly your planned route.

We tried to fly as direct as possible letting controllers and the leader Macksolo of the formation dealing with proper clearances. No formation take-off allowed in Kortrijk but we soon settled in a loose formation, throttled back at 50% engine power yielding about 80 knots IAS.

Among General Aviation pilots, there was great fear that private aircraft would be permanently barred from controlled airspace, particularly around the epicenters of those attacks in New York City and Washington DC. Although 9/11 marked the weaponization of commercial aircraft, the aftereffects are felt most keenly by General Aviation.

There are many popular Greek destinations, for operators planning general aviation movements, to consider for Greece. Other than at LGAV, where you’ll clear customs, immigration, quarantine (CIQ) quickly within the general aviation terminal (GAT), expect to clear CIQ in the main terminal along with scheduled commercial passengers.

If you maintain constant situational awareness and utilize all available resources, that’s conducive to safe general aviation operations. With ADS-B and transponder service over much of the airspace, it is a good practice to fly with a second layer of protection, helping you enhance awareness of potential risks.

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. An aircraft can operate in these corridors without a clearance from or communication with ATC. VFR pilots must file a D.C.
