Created page with "Airspace classes are types of airspace which tell pilots... * If they are allowed to enter it and under which circumstances (depending on visibility, aircraft type and flight ru..."

New page

Airspace classes are types of airspace which tell pilots...

* If they are allowed to enter it and under which circumstances (depending on visibility, aircraft type and flight rule)
* If they need to file a flight plan before entry, request clearance, report, or just do nothing

These classes are limited laterally (they have borders to neighbouring airspaces) and vertically (they are sliced in flight levels).

ICAO airspaces have letters ranging from A thru E.

Austrian Airspace uses the following classifications ((c) Austrocontrol):
