Class A airspace

18000' - FL 600
Must be IFR equipped/rated
Must have ATC Clearance
2-way radio
Transponder mode c
DME is required above FL240 if VOR must be used to fly the route.
ADSB out
No cloud clearances

Class B airspace

Sfc - 10000' MSL
IFR or VFR
Need ATC clearance 
Private/student pilot
2 way radio
Mode C Transponder
ADSB out
3 sm viz - clear of clouds

WHERE IS ADS-B OUT REQUIRED?

Class A, B, and C airspace;
Class E airspace at or above 10,000 feet msl, excluding airspace at and below 2,500 feet agl;
Within 30 nautical miles of a Class B primary airport (the Mode C veil);
Above the ceiling and within the lateral boundaries of Class B or Class C airspace up to 10,000 feet;
Class E airspace over the Gulf of Mexico, at and above 3,000 feet msl, within 12 nm of the U.S. coast.

Class C airspace

sfc - 4000 AGL
IFR/VFR
Student certification

mode c transponder
ADSB out
3 viz - 152

Class D airspace

sfc - 2500 AGL
IFR/VFR

Student certifcation
2 way radio
3 viz -152

Class E airspace starting points

-Magenta Dashed Lines 
Typically mean class Echo starts at the surface

-Magenta Shaded Outlines
Class Echo Starts at 700’ AGL

-Open Areas on the sectional – (US Border has blue shading)
Class Echo Starts at 1,200’ AGL

-Blue Shading (notice the shaded side faces the 1,200’ and solid face 14,500’)
By Default Class Echo Starts at 14,500’ MSL

-Blue Zipper
Indicates Altitudes on either side in which Class Echo Starts

Class E airspace details

sfc - 18000' MSL, FL 600 - space
IFR/VFR
ATC clearance for IFR
student certificate
below 10000' MSL = 3-152
above 10000' MSL = 5-111

Class G airspace starting points

-Within the magenta circle
Surface to 699’

-Unshaded areas
Surface to 1199’

-Blue Shading
On the solid line side, Surface to 14,499’

-Zipper
Golf below the specified Value

Class G airspace details

sfc - to up to 14,499'
1200' AGL or less day = 1 - COC
1200' AGL or less night = 3 - 152
More than 1200' AGL but less than 10000 MSL day
=1-152
More than 1200' AGL but less than 10000 MSL night
-3-152
10000' above = 5-111
In pattern at night = 1 - COC

Prohibited Airspace

can’t fly, solid blue with lines

Restricted Airspace

must get clearance , solid blue with lines

Special Flight Rules Area

An area of airspace where the ready identification, location, and control of aircraft is required in the interests of national security (red)

Pilot Requirements
-Operation within 60 NM requires special training course completion
-Must have valid SFRA flight plan to enter SFRA
10NM FRZ (Flight Restricted Zone) requires Pilot Pin on Flight plan – Finger printing and background checks

TFR

Temporary Flight Restriction (red)

-must have prior authorization

ADIZ
