Most airspace in the United States is class E. The airspace above FL600 is also class E. [10] No ATC clearance or radio communication is required for VFR flight in class E airspace. VFR visibility and cloud clearance requirements are the same as for class C and D airspaces when below 10,000 feet (3,000 m) MSL.
Class E airspace exists above Class G surface areas from 14,500 ft (4,400 m) MSL to 18,000 ft (5,500 m) MSL. Federal airways from 1,200 ft (370 m) AGL to 18,000 ft (5,500 m) MSL within 4 miles (6 km) of the centerline of the airway is designated Class E airspace. Airspace at any altitude over FL600 (60,000 ft; 18,300 m) (the ceiling of Class A ...
Class G airspace extends from the surface to the base of the overlying Class E airspace. Although ATC has no authority or responsibility to control air traffic, pilots should remember there are visual flight rules (VFR) minimums which apply to Class G airspace, [14] and that flight over private property should not be presumed valid.
Separation can also apply to terrain, obstacles, and controlled airspace, wherein an aircraft must stay at a minimum distance from a block of airspace; as an example, all aircraft must be approved by the controller who "owns" the airspace before the aircraft is approved to enter that sector. Separation at cruising altitude (aircraft passing below).
TRSAs encompass a primary airport with a class "D" designation, with the TRSA above other controlled airspace (Typically Class E Airspace) with a typical floor of 700 feet or 1,200 feet AGL (Above Ground Level). TRSAs are shown on most VFR (Visual Flight Rules) sectional charts as solid grey with black text.
No. 10 Highest: New Hampshire. Living in New Hampshire, the cradle of New England, can seem idyllic until you look at property taxes. The average property tax rate is 1.25%.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) classifies unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into "Groups" according to their size and capability, a joint system that replaced the service branches' separate categorization schemes in 2011. [1] [2] [3] The "Group" system has five categories, whose capabilities increase with the number. [4]
