The Visual Flight Rules Guide (VFRG) helps pilots prepare, plan and fly safely under the visual flight rules. The guide explains the rules in plain English and by using practical information and examples. If you use this guide, you will be meeting the general operating and flight rules. This guide does not replace the regulations or other Where this is not illustrated, the class E airspace is still assumed to begin at 14,500 feet MSL. Class E airspace base is 1,200 feet AGL in most areas. However, it is also commonly at 700 feet or even at the surface. Usually, this airspace class will extend up to 18,000 feet MSL (not inclusive). At or above 12500’ (i.e., up to 18000’) airways are automatically defined as Class B airspace, and therefore the requirements of Class B apply. Where airways penetrate designated airports surrounded by Class C or D airspace, as indicated on charts, the respective rules of Class C or D airspace also apply. Vectors aircraft in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class G airspace when requested by the pilot. Except where authorized for radar approaches, radar departures, special VFR, or when operating in accordance with vectors below minimum altitude procedures, vector IFR aircraft at or above minimum vectoring altitudes. § 135.609 VFR ceiling and visibility requirements for Class G airspace. ( a ) Unless otherwise specified in the certificate holder's operations specifications, when conducting VFR helicopter air ambulance operations in Class G airspace, the weather minimums in the following table apply: (d) Except as provided in §91.157 of this part, no person may take off or land an aircraft, or enter the traffic pattern of an airport, under VFR, with-in the lateral boundaries of the surface areas of Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace designated for an air-port— (1) Unless ground visibility at that Class B Airspace eTeaching Tool.

The changes to the visual meteorological conditions (VMC) minima will apply to aircraft flying within the UK in class D airspace provided that they are flying during the day only; at and below 3,000 ft above mean sea level, or 1,000 ft above terrain, whichever is the higher; and at an indicated airspeed of 140 kts or less, to give adequate When Class E airspace extends down to 700 AGL, the sectional shows a faded magenta line (not a solid magenta line like Class C Airspace). When Class E Airspace extends down to the surface, the sectional shows a faded magenta line (thats the 700 AGL to 17,999 MSL) but will also show a dashed red circle. This is where the Class E Airspace extends IFR stands for ‘instrument flight rules’. The aircraft is flown using the instruments with no visual references to the outside world. Visual flight rules, or ‘VFR’, refer to flying using primarily visual references. The pilot will still use the instruments to relay certain information, such as altitude and airspeed. cQnu.
