Class E. IFR and VFR flights are permitted, IFR flights are provided with air traffic control service and are separated from other IFR flights. All flights receive traffic information as far as is practical. Class E shall not be used for control zones.
 
 
Uncontrolled Airspace – Visual depictions as per current UK VFR Charts:
 
 
 

**Class F. IFR and VFR flights are permitted, all participating IFR flights receive an air traffic advisory service and all flights receive flight information service if requested.
 
**Class G. IFR and VFR flights are permitted and receive flight information service if requested.

 
 
 
 
The current UK Controlled Airspace Boundaries and requirements for flight within these boundaries can be viewed via the ENR section of the AIP (Browse to ENR 6.1 from the main ENR page).
4. Visual Flight Rules      

 
The Visual Flight Rules (Rules 25 to 29 of the UK Rules of the Air Regulations 2007 refer) require an aircraft to be flown in accordance with the VMC minima appropriate to the classification of the airspace. Additionally, when flying in controlled airspace (except Class E) unless otherwise authorised by the ATC Unit, the commander of the aircraft must file a flight plan (see page 29), obtain an ATC clearance, maintain a listening watch on the appropriate frequency and comply with any instructions given by the ATC Unit. Pilots are reminded that a response of “Standby” from ATC is NOT a clearance and Controlled Airspace (CAS) should NOT be entered on such a command. NOTE: VFR flight is not permitted in Class A Controlled Airspace.
