| Jan 5, 2019 at 17:43 | comment | added | JScarry | You are not going to get flight following in Class G airspace, since by definition it is uncontrolled—i.e. not under the control of ATC. One of the reasons that there used to be so much Class G in the US was because of the lack of radar and radio coverage. There is very little Class G above 1200' now and it is mostly in the Rockies. | |

Clarified IFR vs. VFR clearance rules; edited generic sentence grammar.

| Nov 2, 2018 at 21:53 | comment | added | Pondlife | A further small clarification: you need an IFR clearance to operate in any controlled airspace (91.173), which includes class E. | |
