Thank you finally making Class Bravo make sense
Great video thank you!

Happy it helped ya!
Thank you John !
I'm taking my written in 1 week, thank you!!
You the man!
Very good explanation.
Thanks, you are a good instructor!

Great video. appreciate it. Very intellectual and understanding.
I'm glad it helped ya!
Great point with the heading/altitude. It would be acceptable to fly into a bravo without a clearance if you were assigned a heading/altitude that takes you in...
According to the FAA, turning to avoid the Class B airspace is not a violation because “the pilot only received the vector for traffic from ATC, the pilot did not receive a clearance or instruction from ATC. Therefore, any maneuvering by the pilot is not a violation of FAR 91.123.
In addition to the class B portion is also the “mode c” veil.... those of us who are operating with an in-op transponder or uninstalled electrical system, the mode c veil keeps us away from even getting close to a class B airspace.
cool video, thanks.
What tool/website was used to display the 3D airspace?
Hey Dmitri,
I used google earth with 3D layered objects I built into a custom map. Fly Safe! -Jon
Hi, I'm a new private pilot out of Augusta, Ga. I would like to fly to a class D within the class B airspace (ATL) ? What's the best way of doing so? Thank you again!
Any guidance of where to get the google earth plug-in? I can't seem to find it on the FAA website.
In Canada it tells you beside the shelf numbers of who you should be talking to and which frequency to be on. I don’t see that here?
What about Mode C and ADS-B requirements that effectively prevent you from even entering under the wedding cake?
Those are used to provide atc your altitude and ground speed, hence necessary to keep separation in congested airspace.
Jon, What would you do if as a VFR pilot you were cleared into class B and were flying an assigned heading and altitude clear of clouds. Then the controller tells you to change altitude and doing so would put you into the clouds? Would you simply say unable or what would you do? Obviously you would not comply and fly into a cloud.
Thanks,
Joe
Hey Joe,
You're exactly right. Rather than read back the clearance when they give it to you, immediately say "unable to maintain VFR on that heading/altitude" using the words unable to maintain VFR forces them to give you other instructions, or more often just leave you on the last assigned heading and altitude and turn a different airplane out of the way instead of moving you.
Thanks Jon, I really enjoy your channel and I learn a lot from you.
Glad it helps Joe! Be sure to check out our new free online ground school at fly8ma.com/ and let us know what you think!
Great video. Thank you for all that you do for the flying community.
You would say unable and tell them why.
Hi can you tell what this means on some charts. T/15 or T/SFC.
T/sfc: you are in class c, 41/13 is 4100 feet and 13 is 1300 feet
Then you only have to ask for authorization to enter airspace B or it also applies for C and D ...
What is the class of airspace below the shelf of class b?
quick question.. If you are in the blue area but above it or below it do you still have to call in and let them know your intentions of just passing thru
no, if you are outside of class bravo airspace you do not need to have two way radio communication or any sort of flight plan, just have an operable mode c transponder and ads-b
ATC telling you to fly a heading that will put you into class B airspace is not a clearance if the heading they gave you was due to a traffic. They have to specifically clear you into the class B airspace by saying that you're cleared. This was covered in an aopa article by John Allen, an aviation attorney. So, if you are not cleared to enter the Class B airspace and cannot obtain a clearance due to a congested frequency, would turning to avoid the Class B airspace constitute a FAR violation? This time, the most relevant regulation is 14 CFR 91.123: Compliance with ATC clearances and instructions, which provides, in part, that no pilot in command may deviate from an ATC clearance “unless an amended clearance is obtained, an emergency exists, or the deviation is in response to a traffic alert and collision avoidance system resolution advisory.”
According to the FAA, turning to avoid the Class B airspace is not a violation because “the pilot only received the vector for traffic from ATC, the pilot did not receive a clearance or instruction from ATC. Therefore, any maneuvering by the pilot is not a violation of FAR 91.123.”

Is all the feet MSL?
Yes, Airspace altitudes on charts will always be in MSL values. It's also explained a little more in depth in the free private pilot ground school at fly8ma.com/
check it out and let us know what you think!
3:00 Not to scale
ADS-B requirement!!!
Thought he was about to ditch the plane
