Pensacola Class C airspace extends up to what MSL?

Pensacola Class C airspace extends up to 4,200 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL). Class C airspace is designed to allow a high level of air traffic control service for aircraft operating in and around airports with significant traffic volume.

Typically, Class C airspace is structured with an inner core that generally extends from the surface up to 4,000 feet AGL (Above Ground Level), transitioning into an outer shelf that extends up to 4,200 feet MSL. This setup ensures controlled flight operations while also accommodating the needs of general aviation.

Understanding the vertical limits of Class C airspace is crucial for pilots to ensure they comply with air traffic control requirements and airspace regulations. This familiarity also enhances safety and situational awareness, particularly in busy airspace environments.
