Can any of you CFIs tell me where I can find a description of Class G
airspace? Part 71 says F & G are reserved,


Actually, is says "Subpart F-G (reserved)" but that is a really
interesting question! Oddly, as you have discovered, the FARs do not seem
to define Class G, but if you look on page 3-3-1of the AIM, you will find
the following definition: "Class G airspace (uncontrolled) is that portion
of the airspace that has not been designated as Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class D, or Class E airspace." Of course, 91.155 gives you your basic
weather minimums which include Class G.

but other parts reference Class
G (Part 91 for instance under traffic patterns in airports with no

operating
control tower in Class G space).
