What is the maximum altitude a pilot can fly under VFR in Class B airspace?

In Class B airspace, the maximum altitude a pilot can fly under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) is determined by the established parameters set by the FAA, which includes maintaining specific visual separation from air traffic and compliance with air traffic control instructions.

Flying at or below 10,000 feet in Class B airspace allows pilots to operate with sufficient margin below any incoming or outgoing aircraft, while still benefiting from the enhanced air traffic management that Class B airspace provides. Above this altitude, pilots may still be able to operate depending on their qualifications and air traffic control direction, but there are increased requirements and considerations.

The other options present altitudes that exceed 10,000 feet, which are not consistently applicable or safe for VFR operations in Class B airspace without special clearances or under IFR conditions. Thus, 10,000 feet serves as the upper limit under VFR, ensuring that pilots remain well within safe operational parameters.
