GM1 SERA.6001 Classification of airspaces ED Decision 2013/013/R GENERAL (a) Class B airspace is considered less restrictive than Class A airspace; Class C airspace less restrictive than Class B airspace, etc. (b) The speed limitation of 250 kt for VFR flights in airspace Classes C, D, E, F, G and for IFR flights in airspace Classes D, E, F, G is intended to facilitate visual acquisition of flights which are not separated. (c) Wherever there is a need to accommodate within a given airspace class operations compatible with a less restrictive class, the following may be used: (1) reclassification of the airspace concerned; (2) redesigning the volume of airspace concerned by defining airspace restrictions or reservations, or subvolumes of less restrictive classes of airspace (e.g. corridors).
