Class E airspace consists of all controlled airspace that is not associated with Class A, Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace. This airspace is typically found around airports that do not have an operating control tower or en route airspace above 700 feet AGL or 1,200 feet AGL.
Introduction: Class E airspace is controlled airspace that is designated to serve a variety of terminal or en route purposes. Class Echo airspace is controlled through the Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC)
Class E Airspace: Controlled airspace which is neither class A, B, C nor D. In most areas of the United States, class E airspace extends from 1,200 feet (370 m) above ground level (AGL) up to but not including 18,000 feet (5,500 m) MSL, the lower limit of Class A airspace.
E - Shuttle Service (no reservation allowed) or Economy/Coach Discounted. F - First Class. G - Conditional Reservation. H - Economy/Coach Discounted – Usually an upgradable fare to Business. J - Business Class Premium.
Perhaps the most misunderstood airspace category, Class Echo (E) starts at 14,500'MSL and extends up to but not including 18,000' (bottom of Alpha Airspace) over the entire continental United States unless otherwise depicted. It also exists above Alpha (above 60,000').
Class E Transition AreasIt often surrounds individual airports or groups of airports. So why does the Class E airspace suddenly drop from 1,200 feet AGL to 700 feet AGL in these areas? Think of it like Class B or C airspace, it drops down to protect aircraft on approach or departure from an airport.
Class E Surface Area is depicted on the sectional with a dashed magenta line – – – – -. Sometimes Class E airspace goes all the way down to the surface of the ground. This is called Class E surface area. In general, we don't need permission to fly in Class E airspace.
Most airspace in the United States is class E. The airspace above FL600 is also class E. No ATC clearance or radio communication is required for VFR flight in class E airspace. VFR visibility and cloud clearance requirements are the same as for class C and D airspaces when below 10,000 feet (3,000 m) MSL.
Each FIA on a map has its own radio frequency as shown on the map below. Class E above 8500ft uses 134.2 while Class G below 8500ft uses 122.4 . *Class G airspace has different rules and procedures depending on your altitude: Below 3000 feet and above 3000 feet clearance from cloud requirements change.
As an FAA-certified remote pilot under the Part 107 regulations, if you need to operate in Class B, C, D, or E airspace, you need to get prior approval to operate in that airspace.
