VFR flights are prohibited in which airspace class?

• A. Class A
• B. Class B
• C. Class C
• D. Class D

Answer: (A)

VFR is not allowed in Class A airspace because this airspace is designated for Instrument Flight Rules only, with an ATC clearance required for all operations. The high altitude, high speeds, and need for precise, ATC-managed separation make it unsafe to operate visually, so VFR flights are prohibited. In contrast, Class B, C, and D airspace allow VFR when weather minimums are met and the proper communications or clearances are in place.
