Class B airspace typically has what general altitude limit?

Class B airspace is designed to manage and separate air traffic around the busiest airports in the United States. The general altitude limit for Class B airspace typically extends from the surface up to 10,000 feet above mean sea level (MSL). This ensures that aircraft operating within this airspace can be safely managed, especially in high-density areas where there is a significant volume of air traffic.

The altitude limit of 10,000 feet provides sufficient vertical separation between the Class B airspace and the higher altitudes where other types of airspaces, such as Class A or Class C, may operate. It allows for a controlled airspace environment that facilitates both the departure and arrival of aircraft, as well as the needs of air traffic control in busy terminal areas.

Information about other choices reflects that they do not align with the standard definition of Class B airspace limits, which specifically state 10,000 feet is the maximum altitude.
