← All explained questions · Airspace and Operating Requirements

A pilot establishes two-way radio communication but receives no explicit clearance. Which airspace may they NOT enter?

Choices

  • Class D

    Class D only needs two-way communication, which was established.

  • Class C

    Class C needs two-way communication plus equipment, not an explicit clearance.

  • Class Bcorrect

    Class B requires an explicit clearance, which was not received.

  • Class E

    Class E needs no clearance for VFR.

Why

Only Class B requires an explicit clearance to enter. With communication established but no clearance, the pilot may enter C, D, and E (given proper equipment) but not B.
