Class C airspace

Class C airspace is controlled airspace with ATC service for both IFR and VFR traffic. IFR flights are separated from other IFR flights and from VFR flights, while VFR flights receive traffic information about other VFR traffic. Entry normally requires radio communication clearance and, in many cases, a transponder. As a pilot, you must comply with ATC instructions, maintain the required weather minima, and stay alert for traffic that is not separated from you.
