The vast majority of airspace below 18,000 feet 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 tip 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 tip is from the Sporty’s Learn to Fly Course, which includes complete training for Private and Sport Pilots.
