3- at busy airfields with frequent IFR traffic, protecting climbing/descending traffic, positioned above one or more CTR’s/ATZ’s, must be at least 700’ above ground/water, Class C, solid blue shaded line
4- above one or more TMA’s at busy centres, class A and C,
5- defined by ground based nav aids or GNSS points, Class C below FL200, Class A above FL200
