Some prohibited airspace may be supplemented via NOTAMs. For example, Prohibited Area 40 (P-40) and Restricted Area 4009 (R4009) often have additional restricted airspace added via a NOTAM when the president of the United States visits Camp David in Maryland, while normally the airspace outside of P-40 and R4009 is not prohibited/restricted.

A procedural "outer area" (not to be confused with the shelf area) has a radius of 20 nautical miles. [8] All aircraft entering class C airspace must establish two-way radio communication with ATC prior to entry; explicit clearance to enter is not required; however, the controller of Class C space may instruct aircraft initiating communication ...
The airspace is commonly depicted as resembling an "upside-down wedding cake". The innermost ring extends from the surface area around the airport to typically 10,000' MSL. Several outer rings usually surround it with progressively higher floors to allow traffic into nearby airports without entering the primary airport's Class B airspace.
FIRs are the largest regular division of airspace in use in the world today, and have existed at least since 1947. [2] [3] Smaller countries' airspace is encompassed by a single FIR; larger countries' airspace is subdivided into a number of regional FIRs. [4] [5] Some FIRs encompass the territorial airspace of several countries. [6]
