What type of clearance do pilots need to enter Class C airspace?

  1. General permission

  2. Prior authorization from air traffic control (ATC)

  3. Self-declared clearance

  4. No clearance is required

The correct answer is: Prior authorization from air traffic control (ATC)

To enter Class C airspace, pilots are required to obtain prior authorization from air traffic control (ATC). This need for communication ensures that both the pilot and ATC can maintain safe operations within the airspace, which typically surrounds busy airports with moderate traffic levels. Class C airspace is designed to manage aircraft entering the vicinity, thus reducing the risk of collision and maintaining organized air traffic flow. The interaction allows ATC to provide essential information such as traffic advisories and instructions, helping all aircraft navigate safely in congested areas. Understanding this requirement helps pilots prepare adequately for operations near controlled airports, ensuring compliance with aviation regulations and enhancing overall safety in the airspace system.
