ATS Airspace Classification Essential Division Description of classes Schematic Image

ATS Airspace Classification FIR Prague ….. Uncontrolled Areas Classification in accordance with ICAO ….. classifications A, B, C, D, E, F, G The Czech Republic ….. the Airspace is devided into four classifications C, D, E and G Remark: (Airspace classified as C, D and E is controlled, airspace classified as G is uncontrolled.)

ATS Airspace Classification FIR Prague ….. Uncontrolled Areas Class C airspace comprises: TMA PRAHA and airspace above FL95 to FL660. Class D airspace comprises: CTR/TMA, MCTR/MTMA of all aerodromes with the exception of TMA PRAHA.

ATS Airspace Classification FIR Prague ….. Uncontrolled Areas Class E airspace comprises: Airspace outside CTR/TMA, MCTR/MTMA above 1000ft to FL95. Class G airspace comprises: With the exception of CTRs/MCTRs the airspace from GND to 1000ft AGL.
