Unlike the other five classes of airspace, Class G airspace is uncontrolled. It simply exists anywhere that is not designated as Class A, B, C, D, or E.

Class G airspace (uncontrolled) is that portion of airspace that has not been designated as Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace. Rules governing VFR flight have been adopted to assist the pilot in meeting the responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft.

Class D is used for all control zones and most terminal areas. Class E is generally used for all airspace from 3500 feet to FL195, with the exception of TMA's and airspace over the North Sea. Class F is not used. Class G is used below 3500 feet, except around controlled airports, and below FL195 over the North Sea.
CBO operations and events occurring at 400 feet AGL and below in Class G airspace do not require FAA review, approval or authorization. CBO's intending to conduct events in Class G airspace that may exceed 400 feet AGL must contact the FAA for further information.
For flights near airports in uncontrolled airspace that remain under 400' above the ground, prior authorization is not required. When flying in these areas, remote pilots and recreational flyers must be aware of and avoid traffic patterns and takeoff and landing areas.
These consist of Prohibited areas, Restricted areas, Warning Areas, MOAs (military operation areas), Alert areas and Controlled firing areas (CFAs), all of which can be found on the flight charts. Classes A–E are referred to as controlled airspace. Classes F and G are uncontrolled airspace.
Class G airspace is most easily found on a sectional map when a fading, thick blue line appears. This line shows enroute Class E airspace starting at 1,200 ft AGL on the soft side of the boundary.
Airports that are non-towered but still somewhat busy will have Class G airspace extending upward to 699' agl, and then Class E airspace over top starting at 700' agl.
For the purposes of airplane certification, airplanes are certified in one of three categories: normal, utility, aerobatic. Each category has stress limits of: +3.8Gs and -1.52Gs for normal category airplanes; +4.4Gs and -1.76Gs for the utility category airplane; +6Gs and-3Gs for the aerobatic category airplane.
For the most part, compliance with the 400-foot rule is a voluntary matter. There is no existing mechanism for the FAA to monitor if there are drone pilots, licensed or otherwise, who will fly above this altitude limit.
There are two categories of airspace or airspace areas: Regulatory (Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, restricted and prohibited areas). Nonregulatory (military operations areas [MOA], warning areas, alert areas, controlled firing areas [CFA], and national security areas [NSA]).
In class E airspace, IFR aircraft are controlled by ATC.This might be a center facility (Air Route Traffic Control Center) or approach/departure facility. As a VFR aircraft, you aren't required to be in contact with ATC, but IFR aircraft must operate on an ATC clearance. That means the airspace is controlled.
(a) No person may operate an airplane under VFR in uncontrolled airspace when the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet unless flight visibility is at least 2 miles. (2) At night—1 mile.
If the restricted area is active and has not been released to the controlling agency (FAA), the ATC facility will issue a clearance which will ensure the aircraft avoids the restricted airspace unless it is on an approved altitude reservation mission or has obtained its own permission to operate in the airspace and so ...
