What is the maximum altitude Class G airspace typically extends to?

Class G airspace, also known as uncontrolled airspace, typically extends from the surface up to a maximum altitude of 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) in most areas. This dimension facilitates general aviation activities and allows pilots to operate in an environment with minimal restrictions and fewer regulations, in contrast to controlled airspace where communication with air traffic control is required.

In areas near airports, Class G airspace may extend higher, but the standard maximum is 1200 AGL. Above this altitude, airspace classifications typically transition to Class E or Class C, which impose additional requirements on pilots, such as communication with air traffic control.

Understanding the altitude boundaries of Class G airspace is crucial for pilots as it directly influences their navigation decisions, flight planning, and interaction with other airspace classifications.
