Hello, everybody. Kenny with Fort Wayne helicopters, and I wanted to do a quick breakdown on Class Bravo airspace. Airspace is tough for all of us. It's tough to learn, and you have to memorize this stuff and go over it and over it and over it. What's important about Class B Class Bravo is it's the larger airports. Example o', Hare, so you have B, which stands for blue. They're outlined in blue on their shelves. B for busy. It's going to be B in the center because it's a towered airport. So if you think of Class Bravo, it's the biggest airports, blue, busy. The other important thing examiner is going to ask you, what terminology must you hear to get into Class Bravo? You must hear cleared to enter. If you don't hear cleared to enter, you cannot enter that airspace. Of course they're going to ask you, what cloud clearance and visibilities do you need to operate in Class Bravo? You must have three miles visibility and you must remain clear of clouds. Hope that's a help. And stay tuned for the rest of the airspace. And please share with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. Thanks. See you all later.
