January 18, 2024 Pass Your Private Pilot Oral Exam - ACS Breakdown Part 6 - National Airspace System
NOTE: I misspoke when I made mention of a “minimum elevation figure”. I meant to say “maximum elevation figure”.

The National Airspace System (NAS) is one of the most complex systems a pilot needs to learn and be aware of. Both student pilots and seasoned pilots alike often find confusion when it comes to keeping track of all the different types of airspace and the limitations associated with those airspaces. Join us today as we go over all these details so you don't bust the bravo, and pass this portion of your oral exam with flying colors.
