Fantastic explanation!! Makes it crystal clear! Searched far and wide, probably watched every KZfaq video on this topic. This is the best!! Thank you so very much!

I have been studying the last few days for my part 107 drone test. I've watched probably 8 to 10 videos trying to understand this airspace, the exceptions, and the map designation markings. Yours was clear, the graphics were very helpful, and I really feel like I understand it now. Thank you!

I had my sectional open for study, and found this video to help me along. Lo and behold at 5:13 the segment of the sectional you showed was almost precisely the same image as the folded sectional in front of me! Most intuitive instructional video ever 😁👍

Best and easiest description of E and G airspace I have come across. Very well done!

As a long time licensed pilot and advanced ground instructor I found this explanation of the differences in Class E and G to be exceptionally clear and expertly presented. (Yes, even old pilots need refreshers at times ! lol)

Holy cow thank you! G and E finally understood. Great instructor!

Clear for me now.... too many "way too complicated" videos out there..... this one makes it (E and G) easy to understand !!!

This phone are listening to everything we are talking about. This morning we had a conversation about calls E and G air space and this video pop up. Good video.

Thanks for putting this video out! It finally "clicked" for me! Making the correlation of weather criteria between E and G made it all make sense.

Excercise: Look at any Sectional Chart. Throw a dart at it. then....1.) Ask yourself what airspace am I in at a said altitude. then... 2.) Ask yourself what are the rules and services for that Class of airspace that I am in... Eg. 1.) If I am 500' AGL 1 mile east of GREENVILLE airport. I am in Class G airspace. 2) I have to abide by the rules in Class G airspace. 1.) If I am 1 mile east of GREENVILLE airport, but at 700' AGL, I am in Class E airspace. 2.) I have to abide by the rules for Class E airspace. Thats how I think of it. Hope this helps. Thoughts? To get good at this... run this exercise for an entire route that you want to fly. Always know what airspace you will be in, and then what are the rules you must abide by as you fly thru that airspace. I also ask if it agrees with my personal minimums including both myself and the airplane I am flying. Even tho it may be legal, it might be outside of my personal minimums.

Thank you. This is the best description of Class G and E airspace, what's different about them and why. I feel I understand them much better now, owing to your great description. Thanks again!

Easily the best explanation that I have heard AND pleasant to listen to...

This is the best and most excellent explanation of E airspace I have found! Wonderful!! Thank you very much to the instructor. Now I finally understand it. Two thumbs up!

studying for my part 107, I got so lucky when I clicked on this video. After a dozen videos I finally get E airspace and G airspace. THANK YOU. Going to find more videos of yours.

Perfect explaining thank you and video quality is unmatched.

This is one of the better videos I’ve seen that explain the difference! Thank you for making this video!

Best explanation I have had so far. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

I hardly comment on videos but wow, thank you so much! So many pictures, websites, and videos I've seen but this one truly made me understand!

This was excellent! Very detailed and well-explained. Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! G and E airspace much simplified!

you explained G & E better than I've ever heard it explained!

This was very clear and easy to understand. Thank you for posting. One thing I'd like to know is how to recognize on the sectional chart where G does not move up into E but continues on up to 10,000 ft. You alluded to this when you mentioned that we often find this type of airspace in the mountains. How is this depicted on the sectional charts?

I was struggling on this so bad, Your video made me finally understand it! Thank you for putting it into simple terms.

Great video, been working overseas for 12 years, back stateside and good refresher for US airspace

Really helpful, thank you much. On Class E's, AIM manual says "do not confuse the 700/1200 E transition areas with the surface areas" but they did not tell a person how to do that. That is exactly the question I ran into when studying KBLH airspace. Guess who was the first person to eliminate the confusion? You were! Thanks again for helping to distinguish between the various factors at play here, and it is indeed a handful. CEC

Years ago before the change in airspace classifications, the shaded magenta area that changes from 700 ft to 1,200 was officially known as a "transition area". That's what we called them. Sometimes the "transition area" had an extension for a straight in instrument approach. The airspace today still acts the same way but the names have changed to a letter classification. That's all. We used to have "control zones" around IFR airports and "airport traffic areas" that are now class D airspace. This was all done so that the international aviation community would have the same type of airspace classifications around the world. I believe the change occurred in the mid-70s.

Nice job! Helped me for my flight review next week. But it also exposed a conundrum for me and maybe a few other Sport Pilots: We are supposed to be limited to 10K feet, except when going higher (+2,000) to clear terrain along the route. I don't recall being taught that my cloud minimums and visibility also went up above 10K! And it's nice to learn why. Thank you!

Thank you! One of the best explanation about it.

The significance of the 700 feet versus 1200 feet has to. do with instrument approaches. When the Class G airspace goes down to 700 feet there is an instrument approach to the airfield. In some cases you will see a keyway extending out further from the airport. This is to facilitate the instrument approach.

This is presented clear and easy to understand!

Thank you, very helpful!

Well that was a lightbulb moment! Thanks I get it now

Thank you for this video, I could not figure out (and kept missing the correct answer) on Figure 26, area 1, Tomlinson (8J7) Airport airspace. Because it has no shading, I was always seeing it in G Airspace and never E Airspace. I won't be missing that question anymore ! Thank you very much !

You are a genius.

Excellent

When I first watched this video I thought there were some mistakes or you had misspoken. But after watching it a few more times I realized you were correct and I was wrong. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Thank you so much, make it so easy to understand

great explanation!

Thank you so much!

If you are at 10,500 MSL over Leadville Airport (KLXV) in Colorado, what airspace are you in? What are the rules?

Great explanation but like everything has to have exceptions. lol If you look around airport CYQM (in Atlantic Canada) there is a "MODE C 1800" around the "soft" magenta Class E line, what does this represent? class C above 1800' class E?

AWESOME VIDEO !

the best

Is there a video regarding A and B and C airspace? Can someone give a link plz

So I'm still not certain what's worse. Blundering into IFR from G to E without sufficient published lateral visibility or flying around the country only 1,000 ft AGL with only a mile of visibility out in front of the prop at an IAS of 125 kts. I'm not so sure I wouldn't rather be able to see an extra mile in Class E even if I was still illegal!! LOL!

Only took 5 years for part two XD
