How do I know if I have airspace restricted?
Go to the airport nearest the restricted area and under NOTAMS, click on the ARTCC button. In this example, I used Yakima, Washington (KYKM). If you don’t have Foreflight, go to the FAA NOTAM website. Then find your specific ARTCC area.
What does busted airspace mean?
It probably means that you have done one of two major snafus: an altitude/heading bust or, if VFR, an airspace bust. The disadvantage is that you may not be able to get flight following for some time, especially since you are going to depart the area of the Class B airspace fairly quickly.
Which airspace is controlled?
Class E airspace
Class E airspace is the controlled airspace not classified as Class A, B, C, or D airspace. A large amount of the airspace over the United States is designated as Class E airspace.
What is considered level bust?

A Level Bust or altitude deviation occurs when an aircraft fails to fly at the level to which it has been cleared, regardless of whether actual loss of separation from other aircraft or the ground results.
What are some of the violations of the FAA?

Who is responsible for the safety of the airspace?

What happens if an airplane is found to be unsafe?
