What is the key difference between controlled and uncontrolled airspace for a Part 107 pilot?
- A.Uncontrolled airspace has no operating rules at all
- B.ATC provides services in controlled airspace, and authorization is required in the controlled surface airspace listed in 107.41
- C.Controlled airspace begins only above 10,000 feet MSL
Correct answer
B. ATC provides services in controlled airspace, and authorization is required in the controlled surface airspace listed in 107.41
Why
In controlled airspace ATC provides services, and 107.41 requires prior authorization in Class B, C, D, and Class E surface areas. Uncontrolled Class G still has Part 107 operating rules, and controlled airspace exists at low altitudes around airports.
