◉ What is Class B Airspace? Answer - IFR and Controlled VFR (CVFR)
ATC Provides Separation
All Low Level Controlled Airspace above 12,500' ASL or at and above the MEA, whichever is
higher, up to but not including 18,000' ASL
Control Zones and Terminal Control Areas may be Class B
◉ What is Class C Airspace? Answer - Controlled Airspace

ATC provides separation for IFR only
Class C becomes Class E when ATC is not in operation
Control Zones and Terminal Control Areas may be Class C
◉ What is Class D Airspace? Answer - Controlled Airspace
Both IFR and VFR (VFR needs to establish two way communication)
ATC provides separation for IFR only
Class D becomes Class E when ATC is not in operation
Control Zones and Terminal Control Areas may be Class D
,◉ What is Class E Airspace? Answer - Controlled Airspace
