In Class G airspace, pilots must comply with which requirement?

• A. VFR minimums
• B. ATC clearance for all flights
• C. IFR only operations
• D. No speed restrictions

Answer: (B)

Class G is uncontrolled airspace, so pilots flying VFR do not need ATC clearance to operate there. The important requirement in this space is meeting the VFR weather minimums appropriate for the altitude and time of day, which ensures safe, visual separation from other aircraft. IFR operations in Class G do require ATC clearance, but that only applies to flying under IFR, not to standard VFR flights. So the key requirement in Class G for typical operations is to comply with VFR minimums.
