Most sUAS operations occur in Class- A airspace.

Most sUAS operations occur in Class- A airspace.

• A. False
• B. Class B airspace
• C. Class C airspace
• D. Class E airspace

Answer: (A)

The main idea is where small UAS flights typically take place in the airspace system. Class A is not a practical home for sUAS operations. It begins at 18,000 feet mean sea level and extends up to FL600, and all operations there require ATC clearance and instrument flight rules. Small UAS pilots operate visually and at low altitudes, usually well below 400 feet AGL, where you can fly without needing to coordinate with ATC. That places most sUAS operations in uncontrolled airspace (Class G) or in the lower portions of Class E near the surface. If a flight does enter controlled airspace (Class B, C, D, or E to the surface), you must obtain an authorization (for example, via LAANC or similar systems). So the statement is not correct; most sUAS operations do not occur in Class A airspace.
