Drone Pilot Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What type of flights are permitted in Class A airspace?

Visual flight rules only

Both IFR and VFR flights

IFR (instrument flight rules) only

In Class A airspace, only IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) flights are permitted. Class A airspace typically ranges from 18,000 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level) up to and including 60,000 feet MSL, where aircraft are required to operate under IFR guidelines due to the high altitude and the significant volume of air traffic. This airspace is designed to maintain safe and efficient air traffic management, which is why visual flight rules (VFR) operations are not permitted.

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and other VFR operations do not have the capability to maintain the required separation and navigate the complexities of the traffic in Class A airspace effectively. IFR allows pilots to fly with instruments and communicate with air traffic control, ensuring safety and compliance with air traffic regulations in busy air corridors.
