The United States airspace system's classification scheme is intended to maximize pilot flexibility within acceptable levels of risk appropriate to the type of operation and traffic density within that class of airspace – in particular to provide separation and active control in areas of dense or high-speed flight operations.
The National Airspace System (NAS) is the airspace, navigation facilities and airports of the United States along with their associated information, services, rules, regulations, policies, procedures, personnel and equipment. [1] It includes components shared jointly with the military.
Page 1 of edition 1 states: [1]: 5 If a National Certifying Authority states that a UAV System airworthiness is compliant with STANAG 4671 (and any appropriate national reservations), then, from an airworthiness perspective, that UAV System should have streamlined approval to fly in the airspace of other NATO countries, if those countries have ...
[1] Class C airspace protects the approach and departure paths from aircraft not under air traffic control. All aircraft inside Class C airspace are subject to air traffic control. Traffic operating under VFR must be in communication with a controller before entering the airspace. The airspace is similar to Class B's "upside-down wedding cake ...
Class I: For small units. Role to be filled by all new UAV with some similarity to Micro Air Vehicle. Class II: For companies (cancelled). [15] Class III: For battalions (cancelled). [15] Class IV: For brigades. Role to be filled by the RQ-8A/B / MQ-8B Fire Scout.
In United States and Canadian aviation, the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) [1] (formerly the Airman's Information Manual) is the respective nation's official guide to basic flight information and air traffic control procedures. These manuals contains the fundamentals required in order to fly legally in the country of origin.
All operations in US Class A airspace must be conducted under IFR. SVFR flight in Class A airspace is prohibited. Class B airspace is used to control the flow of traffic around major airports. The airspace is charted on a VFR sectional chart with a series of blue lines. Within these blue lines, the floor and the ceiling of the Class B airspace ...
[1] In order to fly within the DC SFRA, pilots of general aviation aircraft are required to file a special flight rules flight plan, obtain a discrete transponder code, and remain in contact with air traffic control at all times. [2] Special training is required in order to fly within 60 nm of the Washington DC VOR. [3]
