Reversion of Controlled Airspace to Class G

In plain language

When air traffic control (ATC) is not operating in a designated control area or control zone, that airspace temporarily becomes uncontrolled Class G airspace. Drone pilots can operate in these areas under uncontrolled airspace rules during these inactive times.

Requirement as structured

A control area or control zone becomes uncontrolled Class G airspace during times when an air traffic control service is not being provided within that airspace.

Original regulatory text
