airspace G
Can any of you CFIs tell me where I can find a description of Class G
airspace? Part 71 says F & G are reserved, but other parts reference Class G (Part 91 for instance under traffic patterns in airports with no operating control tower in Class G space). TIA Jim |

Oddly, as you have discovered, the FARs do not seem to define Class G, but if you look on page 3-3-1of the AIM, you will find the following definition: "Class G airspace (uncontrolled) is that portion of the airspace that has not been designated as Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace." Of course, 91.155 gives you your basic weather minimums which include Class G. Vaughn but other parts reference Class G (Part 91 for instance under traffic patterns in airports with no operating control tower in Class G space). TIA Jim |

TIA Jim Jim, Class G is most airspace outside of class B,C,D, and outside of non towered airports below 1200ft or 700ft depending on how close you are to clas B,C, and D. Jerry |

TIA Jim Jim, The government gets an "F" in describing Class G. It's probably because they don't want you to enjoy it! ;-) Class G (the good stuff) used to be the One sm vis and clear of clouds airspace that was below huge airspace called "Transition area" (shown in magenta red outline on sec charts; blo 700 ft agl) and "Control area" (shown in blue outline; blo 1200 ft agl) It was a type of uncontrolled airspace (which had nothing to do with radio control, strictly wx minima.) The dumb names above were dropped but the good stuff is still down there. As long as you miss the clouds by one inch you're legal! Enjoy, (just avoid cumulogranite, transmission lines, other surely bond slippers, angry cops on the ground etc.... pacplyer - out |
