airspace G

Can any of you CFIs tell me where I can find a description of Class G
airspace? Part 71 says F & G are reserved, but other parts reference Class
G (Part 91 for instance under traffic patterns in airports with no operating
control tower in Class G space).

TIA

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.

Jim,
Class G is most airspace outside of class B,C,D, and outside of non towered
airports below 1200ft or 700ft depending on how close you are
to clas B,C, and D.

that is exactly what it is. the original free for all airspace that
hasnt been taken for some air traffic control airspace.

it is an environment where you use your eyes and airmanship the old
fashioned way. radios are optional.

G for golden airspace, a wonderful place to fly.

Right, except that for all intents and purposes, class G airspace does
not exist on the east coast.

Jim,

The government gets an "F" in describing Class G. It's probably
because they don't want you to enjoy it! ;-) Class G (the good stuff)
used to be the One sm vis and clear of clouds airspace that was below
huge airspace called "Transition area" (shown in magenta red outline
on sec charts; blo 700 ft agl) and "Control area" (shown in blue
outline; blo 1200 ft agl) It was a type of uncontrolled airspace
(which had nothing to do with radio control, strictly wx minima.) The
dumb names above were dropped but the good stuff is still down there.
As long as you miss the clouds by one inch you're legal!

Enjoy,

(just avoid cumulogranite, transmission lines, other surely bond
slippers, angry cops on the ground etc....

Class F is not used. Would you like ATC call and ask you... "Where in F are
YOU?"

if class G is any airspace that is not A,B,C,D or E,
what the heck remains as class F?

Class F airspace does not exist within the United States or Australia. As
far as I can tell class F airspace is uncontrolled airspace where advisory
service is provided for IFR separation, except in Canada, where it seems
to
be some sort of special use airspace.
