In Class G airspace, is ATC clearance required?

Not Required

Class G is uncontrolled airspace, so no ATC clearance is required for VFR operations there. You can depart, fly, and land without prior permission, as long as you meet the applicable VFR weather minimums and traffic rules, and you may still contact ATC for advisories or flight-following if you want. If you’re flying IFR, you would obtain an IFR clearance, but that’s a separate requirement from the VFR situation in Class G.
