18,000msl-FL600
B airspace altitudes
surface-10,000MSL
C airspace altitudes
usually consists of a 5 NM radius core surface area that extends from the surface up to 4,000 feet above the airport elevation, and a 10 NM radius shelf area that extends no lower than 1,200 feet up to 4,000 feet above the airport elevation.
D airspace altitude
surface to 2,500 feet above the airport elevation
E airspace altitudes
Generally, if the airspace is not Class A, Class B, Class C, or Class D, and it is controlled airspace, it is Class E airspace.
