Continuing on my flight to North Carolina this winter morning. I had flight following but ATC may have lost me. To make matters worse, upon landing I was giving a notice that there was a pilot deviation into a class bravo.
For my non pilot friends. Lets talk about flying in A Class Bravo and why it is important to know the requirements to fly here.
Class Bravo airspace is a designated airspace area in the United States that encompasses some of the busiest airports in the country, such as New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport. It is designed to provide a high level of safety and control for commercial air traffic in the busiest areas of the country.
Class Bravo airspace extends from the surface to a specific altitude and is shaped like an upside-down wedding cake, with the widest part at the top and the narrowest at the bottom. The vertical dimensions of Class Bravo airspace vary depending on the location and airport, but typically extend from the surface up to 10,000 or 12,500 feet above mean sea level.
To enter Class Bravo airspace, pilots are required to obtain clearance from air traffic control (ATC) and must have an operational transponder and a two-way radio. Additionally, pilots must be appropriately rated and have specific training to operate within the airspace.
Due to the high volume of traffic and the strict regulations, flying within Class Bravo airspace can be challenging and requires a high level of proficiency and preparation. However, it provides a safe and efficient way to navigate through some of the busiest airports in the country.
