What is the typical altitude of Class C airspace?

1,000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL)
2,000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL)
4,000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL)
6,000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL)

The correct answer is: 4,000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL)

Class C airspace typically extends from the surface up to 4,000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). This type of airspace is established around airports with a significant amount of air traffic, usually those with a control tower and a certain number of instrument flight rules operations. The airspace is designed to provide a safe operating environment for both arriving and departing aircraft as well as those transiting the area. Understanding the structure of Class C airspace is crucial for drone pilots, as it informs where they can operate their drones safely and legally. Knowing that Class C airspace starts at the surface and goes up to 4,000 feet AGL ensures that pilots are aware of the height limitations in relation to other types of airspaces, like Class B and Class D, which have different altitude thresholds.
