Pilot’s guide to flying in Class E and G airspace (video tip)
1 min read 
The vast majority of airspace below 18,000′ in the US is classified as either Class E or Class G and does not require communication with ATC to enter when flying in VFR conditions. This video explores how you can identify the boundaries of Class E and G airspace on a sectional chart and the operational considerations when flying in each.
This video clip below is from Sporty’s complete Learn to Fly Course.
