What is the vertical span of Class C in the Emirates FIR?

The vertical span of Class C airspace in the Emirates Flight Information Region (FIR) is defined by the specific altitudes outlined in aviation regulations. Class C airspace typically extends from a certain floor level up to a designated upper limit, which provides for both IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) and VFR (Visual Flight Rules) operations.

In the context of the Emirates FIR, Class C airspace is established from Flight Level 145 (FL145) up to 4,500 feet above ground level (AGL). This range means that air traffic within these altitudes is managed to ensure safe distances between all aircraft operating in this airspace. The designation of FL145 as the lower boundary allows for IFR aircraft to operate above VFR traffic, while still providing some room for VFR operations below this level without requiring as stringent air traffic control oversight.

Understanding this specific airspace structure helps pilots and air traffic controllers ensure safety and efficiency in operations, particularly in busy airspace where different categories of flight operations might coincide.
