Is all airspace class E?
All airspace above FL 600 is Class E airspace. Uncontrolled airspace or Class G airspace is the portion of the airspace that has not been designated as Class A, B, C, D, or E. Class G airspace extends from the surface to the base of the overlying Class E airspace.
Is a transponder required in Class E airspace?
All aircraft in Class A or C airspace and all aircraft operating in any airspace above 10,000 feet must have a transponder. Also, all aircraft operating in Class E airspace no matter what the height (above or below 10,000 feet) must be fitted with a transponder.
How do you know where the Class E airspace starts?
Recall that the thick and fuzzy magenta circle or set of lines indicate Class E airspace starting at 700 ft. AGL. Everywhere else, meaning anytime you’re outside of the thick and fuzzy magenta circle or set of lines, or nothing is being indicated on the sectional chart, Class E airspace starts at 1,200 ft. AGL.
What are the different types of Class E airspace?

What is a Class E transition area?
Class E Transition Areas. In a Class E transition area, the Class E floor drops down to 700 feet AGL. On a sectional map, you can find these transition areas by looking for a broad, magenta line that is fuzzy on the inner side. It often surrounds individual airports or groups of airports.
