Class G Requirements:
- Uncontrolled, you do not need to contact ATC to enter or land in Class G airspace.
- There are no specific equipment requirements.
- Basic VFR minimums apply, which are 1sm visibility and Clear of Clouds (don't fly your airplane into a cloud or let it touch a cloud)
Class G airspace within the United States extends up to 14,500' Mean Sea Level (MSL) At and above this altitude is Class E, excluding the airspace less than 1500' above the terrain and certain special use airspace areas.

Permission is not required. Think of G as in “Ground” (It's the airspace that covers most of the ground in the U.S.) Class G airspace is uncontrolled airspace that has not been designated as Class A, B, C, D, or E. The only requirements are to have 1 mile of visibility and to stay clear of clouds.

Class Golf ( Class G ) airspace is the uncontrolled govern free airspace which is void from Air Traffic Control ( ATC ) jurisdiction. Class G airspace supports both Instrument Flight Rules ( IFR ) and Visual Flight Rules ( VFR ) operations within.

Class G Requirements: Uncontrolled, you do not need to contact ATC to enter or land in Class G airspace. There are no specific equipment requirements. These minimums cover most Class G airspace, but are only valid during the daytime when you are within 1,200' agl of the surface.

Transponders Needed for Class G Airspace For the most part, pilots flying in Class Golf airspace do not need a Mode C transponder, ADS-B Out function, or even specific communication equipment. One of the few exceptions is that a Mode C transponder and ADS-B Out are required if flying above 10,000 feet MSL.
MORE DETAILS
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. VFR Requirements. Rules governing VFR flight have been adopted to assist the pilot in meeting the responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft.

But as a perspective, with the exception of Class A airspace, which is ALL of the airspace 18,000 feet and above, Class E & G are pretty much all of the other airspace EXCEPT limited areas around airports with operating control towers. Those areas around airports with control towers are the B, C, and D airspace.
MORE DETAILS
Classes A through E are all types of controlled airspace. This is where air traffic control has various levels of jurisdiction. Class G is considered “uncontrolled.” In Class G airspace, pilots are solely responsible for their own navigation and separation from traffic, terrain, and obstructions.
MORE DETAILS
Class C or D airspace (at or below 2,500 feet agl within 4 nm of the primary airport) — 200 kias (unless a higher speed is specifically approved by ATC) Class E or G airport traffic pattern — 200 kias (recommended)
MORE DETAILS
Below 10,000 feet MSL (mean sea level): A transponder is not required unless the aircraft is within 30 nautical miles of a Class B airport. At or above 10,000 feet MSL: A transponder with altitude reporting capability is required.
MORE DETAILS
Restricted areas denote the existence of unusual, often invisible, hazards to aircraft such as artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or guided missiles.
