In which airspace are drone operations typically conducted?

Drone operations are typically conducted in Class G airspace, which is classified as uncontrolled airspace. In Class G airspace, there are fewer restrictions, allowing for more flexibility in flight operations for drones, especially at lower altitudes. This airspace is particularly suitable for recreational and small commercial drone use because it is generally less congested and does not require air traffic control clearance, making it easier for operators to fly their drones without needing to coordinate with air traffic.

In contrast, Class C, Class D, and Class E airspaces are controlled airspaces that usually require communication with air traffic control and adhere to stricter regulations, which may complicate drone operations.
