This document provides a classification of Australia's airspace and the rules associated with each class. It outlines 7 classes of airspace (A-G) and specifies the air traffic control and communication requirements, weather minimums, and speed limitations for aircraft operating in each class. The classes range from Class A, which requires instrument flight rules and air traffic control clearance, to Class G, which requires no air traffic control clearance and has the least restrictive weather minimums and speed limits.
