Controlled Airspace. A generic term that covers the different classification of airspace (Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E airspace) and defined dimensions within which air traffic control service is provided to IFR flights and to VFR flights in accordance with the airspace classification. (See FIG 3-2-1 .)
The table lists the "distance from clouds" in class B as "clear of clouds". You can also find it in the AIM section 3-2-3 on class B airspace, and in other sections about SVFR, visual approaches etc. where a requirement for those procedures is to remain clear of clouds. The actual cloud cover in the class B airspace is reported by METARs and ATIS.
Boldmethod. Class C minimum weather requirements exist so that you can see and avoid other aircraft. ATC wants you to stay far enough away from the clouds so you can see and avoid other airplanes, especially jets flying fast approaches. An easy way to remember VFR weather minimums for Class C airspace is the phrase "3 Cessna 152s".

It is therefore designated uncontrolled airspace. Class G airspace extends from the surface to the base of the overlying Class E airspace. Although ATC has no authority or responsibility to control air traffic, pilots should remember there are visual flight rules (VFR) minimums that apply to Class G airspace. RELATED POSTS. Airspace; Special

FAR 91.117 doesn't set a speed limit when you're in Class B airspace. Since you're above 10,000' MSL, there's no speed restriction. Except, of course, not exceeding the speed of sound. FAR 91.117 doesn't set a speed limit when you're in Class B airspace. Since you're above 10,000' MSL, there's no speed restriction.

In Class G airspace (this is called uncontrolled airspace), below 10,000 feet above sea level, the minimum visibility for VFR flight is only one statute mile. Pilots operating under pilot

(b) No person may operate a helicopter under VFR in Class G airspace at an altitude of 1,200 feet or less above the surface or within the lateral boundaries of the surface areas of Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace designated for an airport unless the visibility is at least— Class G airspace also holds no specific entry requirements (aside from VFR minimums), no specific aircraft equipment (no radio, no transponder etc) and no minimum pilot certificate requirement (but you still need a license (one of a few varieties) you just don't need anything in addition like the instrument rating requirements for class A). It's a classic examiner question. And, you'll see questions on every airspace class - from A to G. What Are Your Weather Minimums Here? This practice exercise expands on the last - picking an altitude and a point on a map. You need to figure out what the weather requirements are for that class of airspace. You'll see this on your check ride, too. The Class A, or Class Alpha category of controlled airspace is the high-altitude enroute airspace for jet and turboprop aircraft. It is the most restrictive airspace category with numerous entry and operational requirements for both pilots and aircraft. Pilots must remain contact with air traffic services within Class A and receive a clearance Class C. Class C airspace in the UK extends from Flight Level (FL) 195 (19,500 feet) to FL 600 (60,000 feet). Both IFR and Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flying is permitted in this airspace but pilots require clearance to enter and must comply with ATC instructions. Class D. Class D airspace is for IFR and VFR flying. VFR is an abbreviation for visual flight rules (as opposed to VMC, which stands for visual meteorological conditions ). Expanded VFR info is found in FARs 91.151 through 159, under the heading "Visual Flight Rules." They specify weather minimums, fuel required, flight plans, when it's legal to fly VFR, and when you are able to fly under VMC. Class G (More than 1,200 feet above the surface and at or above10,000 feet MSL.) VFR weather minimums. 5-111. Flight Visibility - 5sm. Distance from clouds - 1000' above, 1000' below, 1sm horz. Class A - Requirements for airspace operations. Entry: ATC Clearance. Equip: IFR Equipped. Min Pilot Cert: IFR Rated.
In this video, I bust out the whiteboard on my patio (sorry for the wind need to find me a studio) to draw the airspace VFR weather minimum triangle. This
