What altitude is associated with airspace classified as Class B?

Class B airspace typically extends from the surface up to 10,000 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL). This airspace is designed to protect aircraft flying into and out of busy airports, where higher levels of traffic can be expected. The structure of Class B airspace is generally shaped like an upside-down wedding cake, with different layers at various altitudes to manage traffic effectively.

Understanding the altitudes associated with different classes of airspace helps small unmanned aircraft operators maintain safe operations and comply with regulations. Class B requirements include specific communication and clearance protocols to ensure that all aircraft within this highly controlled airspace remain safe and coordinated.
