I sometimes can ask clearance trough the bravo airspace. What is Bravo airspace?

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and, whatever you hit, call it the target.

Airspace is divided into many categories, or classes, labeled after alphabetic letters (Class A to Class E)

"Bravo airspace" refers to Class B airspace, and you must have an ATC clearance to enter Class B.
This is so, because Class B surrounds the busiest airports which contains all the instrument approaches. So obviosly you dont want an aircraft wandering unnoticed where all the action is  :)

The Class B airspace is individually tailored like an upside down wedding cake, from the surface to 7000ft or even up to 12.500ft.
Hope this helps  :)
