Man pilot institute is changing the game with the studying. The best graphics and explanations out there ! I just finished the chapter on airspace in the course as well. I love the models you created ! Amazing lol

[@PilotInstituteAirplanes]

Thanks! Much more to come. 👏

[@Stetsonhatman]

The 3d models were helpful. thanks.

Class E all the way down to your driveway.. they b taking Everything..

[@elioavila8456]

Awesome and very specific no need for 50 min video like others. Thanks

[@Charanbasireddy7]

Graphical representation is really helpful to understand class E and Class G. great work 👍

[@PilotInstituteAirplanes]

Glad you found it helpful! 🙌

[@ujd2930]

great graphics !!

[@4kVIDEOS722]

Great video you, killed it! I like the new format of explaining the gist in a very short period of time. This is the way to go, quick and concise!

ATC does not control all traffic in controlled airspace. The primary difference between controlled and uncontrolled airspace is visibility and distance from clouds. It is true IFR traffic is controlled by ATC, but VFR traffic in class E airspace is not required to contact ATC. As you progress into Class D, C, and B airspace there are additional requirements for flying in that airspace.

[@puresyre2051]

no but you should get prior clearance from a nearby fss if atc isnt manned

[@lpappas474]

@@puresyre2051 I believe you are confusing my general statement with FAR 91.127 when operating an aircraft within or in the vicinity of an airport. There is no requirement to contact a FSS because you are in class E airspace, a FSS have no authority to control aircraft.

[@lpappas474]

@@puresyre2051 No authority in all Class E airspace except as stated in FAR 91.127.

Amazing and Necessary video

[@carlosotero7757]

There isn’t a speed limit of 250 kts within Class B airspace. There is no speed limit at all within this airspace. Only have to comply with the 250 below 10000 rule.

[@hondas562]

And considering 10,000ft MSL should not be exceeded for class Bravo, except when warranted by high airport elevation, adjacent high terrain, or operational factors (15.2.3.C) So even though it’s not specifically stated for all Bravo, if 10k is the ceiling, then it is a limit unless the exceptions are met for B airspace MSL variance.

[@carlosotero7757]

@@hondas562 I agree with you, most B airspace is under 10,000ft MSL. I just think that things have to be worded correctly, specially when teaching people new to aviation. ATC may expect you to slow down at 10,000ft and not 12,000 when flying through Denver. Not a big deal but things must be taught right. Same is the case for C airspace, most of them remain under 10,000ft, yet no one talks about how there is a 250 speed restriction out of the 4nm from the airport, cause there isn’t.

[@TW1231235]

@@carlosotero7757Wrong, there is a speed limit of 250kts below 10,000 MSL.

[@carlosotero7757]

@@TW1231235 Never said there wasn’t. I just said there is no 250 kts speed restriction for C airspace, it’s not written anywhere that I know of, just like there isn’t a 250 kts speed restriction for B airspace, so we shouldn’t say there is one. Like I said in my first comment, “Only have to comply with the 250 below 10000 rule.”

Great stuff thanks

This airspace looks like an inverted wedding cake.! thanks from Algeria !!

[@charted8015]

OMG, this is so far the best video about airspace. No others better than this. Concise, no bs, accurate, and easy to understand.

[@PilotInstituteAirplanes]

Thank you! 👏

[@alekspro1494]

Best video Ive ever seen

[@kylerbalsley6964]

Please SLOW DOWN

[@PilotInstituteAirplanes]

Feel free to use the 0.75x speed in the video player to slow down the delivery.

[@steveschafer8606]

I am very confused. I have watched several videos on air space. on your video, class B is 10,000 MSL, Class C you use 4,000 AGL and Class D 2,500 AGL. Everyone else is using MSL on Class B,C, D. which is correct?

[@PilotInstituteAirplanes]

It depends on what you are referencing. Class C and D are DEFINED by AGL. That's how tall they are. Class B is always MSL because it's so tall. But those airspace are DEPICTED as MSL on the chart. So for example, a Class D airspace at an airport that's 5000 feet above sea level is still 2500 feet AGL (aka 2500 feet tall) but would be depicted as 7500 feet MSL.

[@steveschafer8606]

@@PilotInstituteAirplanes ok,, lol. I understand now. Hopefully. So, a class D will always be 2500 feet AGL. But the airport itself may be at 1,000 feet MSL and on the chart it will say 3,500 feet MSL?

[@PilotInstituteAirplanes]

Correct, you got it!

[@jessedrew6678]

what does he mean 200 knots below? below what?

[@jazminecurry9490]

No music next time please

ATC clearance is not needed for class C airspace ? Really ?!

[@PilotInstituteAirplanes]

A clearance is not needed. Two way radio communication is. Clearance is only for Class A and B.

@PilotInstituteAirplanes but everywhere I look on every site, it specifically states that it is needed... I really don't understand

[@9LimaAlpha7]

what is a statue mile?

[@PilotInstituteAirplanes]

Statute mile is just a "regular" mile. We use statute to differentiate with a Nautical Mile, which is also used in aviation for other things. Typical weather is measured in statute miles, distances and speeds use nautical miles.

Next time please none of that weird background changing/music, great video otherwise

I'd enjoy it much better without sound effects.
