Interesting vid. Just a note for any European readers/listeners. Its about class B airspace in the US (clearly)
Sorry if i've stated the obvious

There's no Class B Airspace in Europe, or it's very rare. We have all the others, and the Class A Airspace can start at around 1200ft AMSL.

Correct. There is no class B in place in Europe anymore, but it is still a recognised class of airspace.

You still can find some Class B Airspaces in Canada. You can check it out thru Nav Canada website.

Technically Class B airspace *can* exist in Canada..

I've yet to find any though.

Oh whoops.. I stand corrected.

RAC 2.8.2 states:

"All low level controlled airspace above 12 500 feet ASL or at and above the MEA, whichever is higher, up to but not including 18 000 feet ASL will be Class B airspace. "

I'm never up that high ;)

So let me rephrase my original statement. I dont think there is any control zones or terminal control areas in Canada that are class B
