Airspace classes (C, D, E, G)

European airspace is divided into classes A to G. VFR flights typically use C, D, E and G: C and D require an ATC clearance, E does not for VFR, and G is uncontrolled.

German term

Luftraumklassen (C, D, E, G)

Each class defines which services ATC provides, whether radio contact is required and which VMC minima apply. Countries publish the vertical and lateral limits in their AIP and on VFR charts.
