Class G Airspace

Uncontrolled airspace where ATC does not exercise authority over air traffic. It exists from the surface up to the base of overlying controlled airspace (typically 700 or 1,200 feet AGL). VFR weather minimums in Class G are generally lower than in controlled airspace, especially at night and below 1,200 feet AGL (1 SM visibility clear of clouds during the day). Pilots operating in Class G are responsible for their own separation from other traffic.
