List of Class C airports in the United States explained

Class C is a class of airspace in the United States which follows International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) air space designation. Class C airspace areas are designed to improve aviation safety by reducing the risk of mid-air collisions in the terminal area and enhance the management of air traffic operations therein.[1] Aircraft operating in these airspace areas are subject to certain operating rules and equipment requirements.[1]

Class C airspace protects the approach and departure paths from aircraft not under air traffic control. All aircraft inside Class C airspace are subject to air traffic control. Traffic operating under VFR must be in communication with a controller before entering the airspace. The airspace is similar to Class B's "upside-down wedding cake", but much smaller and simpler. The innermost ring with a radius of 5nmi typically extends from the surface area around the airport to 4000feet AGL (above ground level; charted in MSL), and an outer ring, with a radius of 10nmi that typically surrounds the inner ring and extends from a floor at 1200feet AGL, (also charted in MSL), to the ceiling at 4000feet AGL, (again charted in MSL). These dimensions are sometimes highly customized when deemed necessary to accommodate IFR traffic patterns and other surrounding airspace design issues such as the overlapping or close proximities to other classes of airspace.

As of January 2023, there are 122 Class C airports in the United States (counting NAS Whiting Field as 2 different airports).[2] [3]

The following list of Class C airports is sorted by state/territory and IATA Airport Code/ICAO Airport Code.[4]
