Can a restricted airspace be both Class E and Class B?
Classes of airspace are mutually exclusive. Thus, airspace can be “class E” and “restricted” at the same time, but it cannot be both “class E” and “class B” at the same location and at the same time. Note: All airspace classes except class G require air traffic control (ATC) clearance for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations.
