Title: Differentiate types of airspace.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training I (20053-I) > Section: Understanding Airspace

Differentiation should include airspace classes used in the United States and the aircraft equipment required for each. It should also include

- definition of special-use airspace (SUA)
- the concept that the designation of SUAs
  - identifies for other users the areas where such activity occurs
  - provides for segregation of that activity from other users
  - allows charting to keep airspace users informed of potential hazards
- Most SUAs are depicted on aeronautical charts, and the FAA maintains a page showing the status of most SUAs.
