Airspace Made Simple: From Class G to Class B (Using ForeFlight)

This is a recording from a live aviation safety seminar focused on one of the most fundamental — and often misunderstood — topics in flying: airspace. We start with the basics and build from the ground up, beginning with Class G and working all the way through Class B. Along the way, I use ForeFlight to help visualize how airspace actually works in the real world. Whether you’re a student pilot or an experienced aviator, this is designed to be both a refresher and a deeper look at how to think about airspace in practical terms. In this video, you’ll learn: How airspace is structured from the ground up Key differences between each class of airspace Common mistakes pilots make with airspace How to use ForeFlight to better understand what you’re seeing Real-world application, not just memorization If you’re preparing for a checkride or just want to sharpen your understanding, this will help connect the dots.
