Learn the minimum flight visibility and distance from clouds required for VFR flight in Class G airspace, and the pilot and aircraft equipment requirements for IFR flight in Class G airspace. Find out the IFR altitudes and magnetic course requirements for Class G airspace based on the magnetic course and flight level. Communications must be established 4 nautical miles from the airport up to and including 2,500 AGL. What are the VFR weather minimums for class A airspace? Flight visibility: N/A. Distance from clouds: N/A. What are the VFR weather minimums for class B airspace? Flight visibility: 3 statute miles. Distance from clouds: Clear of clouds. Controlled Airspace. Pilot Training memorizing VFR Minimums has proven to be a challenge. below 1200 in class G clear of clouds 3. day in class G 1 mile. Airspace at an airport with a part-time control tower is classified as Class D airspace only A - when the weather minimums are below basic VFR. B - when the associated control tower is in operation. C - when the associated Flight Service Station is in operation. Note that there may be situations where a pilot can legally depart VFR in surface weather reported to be IFR eg a pilot departs VFR at an airport in class G surface airspace in daylight with a surface visibility of 2 sm. This is legal, as it still meets the VFR weather minimums for that airspace but is considered IFR surface weather. Generally, if the airspace is not Class A, B, C, or D, and is controlled airspace it is Class E airspace. Echo airspace is usually used as a way for traffic to transition to an airport in IFR. Special VFR operations are permitted but clearance must be obtained from the controlling facility. Class Echo fills the gap between 1200 ft. to 18000 ft. To operate an airplane under SPECIAL VFR (SVFR) within Class D airspace at night, which is required? a. The pilot must hold an instrument rating, but the airplane need to be equipped for instrument flight, as long as the weather will remain at or above SVFR minimums b. The Class D airspace must be specifically designated as a night SVFR area c Requirements to enter Airspace Classes. Class A. You need to have two-way communication, mode C, an ATC clearance, and be IFR. “Climb and maintain flight level 230″ is your ticket into the class A airspace. Class B. You need to have two-way communication, mode C and an ATC clearance. “Cleared into the class Bravo” does the trick. A In Class G airspace only upon pilot request and as an additional service. At or above the MVA or the minimum IFR altitude except as authorized for radar approaches, radar departures, special VFR, VFR operations, or by paragraph 5-6-3 , Vectors Below Minimum Altitude. 1 statute mile horizontal. (b) Class G Airspace. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section, the following operations may be conducted in Class G airspace below 1,200 feet above the surface: (1) Helicopter. 7MqcA.
