Vertical separation between airliners flying under instrument flight
rules (IFR) is normally 1,000'.


Vertical separation between aircraft flying under IFR is 1000' at and below
FL 290, 2000' above FL 290. It doesn't matter if they're airliners or not.



The vertical separation of IFR
jetliners and general aviation aircraft flying under visual flight
rules (VFR) is normally 500'.


IFR/VFR vertical separation is 500' in Class B and Class C airspace, it
doesn't matter if they're jetliners or general aviation. There is no
IFR/VFR separation in Class D or Class E airspace.



There is NO separation required for two VFR aircraft except to not
cause a collision hazard.


VFR/VFR separation is required in Class B airspace.
