ARTCCS control traffic in which airspace classes?

ARTCCS control traffic in which airspace classes?

• A. Class B and Class C
• B. Class A and Class D
• C. Class E and Class G
• D. Class A and Class E

Answer: (D)

ARTCCs handle the en route portion of flight, which occurs in the controlled airspace between airports. The airspace they manage is Class A and Class E. Class A runs from 18,000 feet MSL up to and including FL600, and all operations require ATC clearance. Class E covers most other en route controlled airspace, extending from various bases up to the base of Class A. Around airports, other facilities (like TRACONs and towers) manage Class B, C, and D, while Class G is uncontrolled. So ARTCCs control traffic in Class A and Class E airspace.
