Tower Frequencies, Approach Control Frequencies, Restricted Airspace, MOA’s
Types of Special Use Airspace
Temporary Flight Restriction, Terminal Radar Service Area, Military Operations Area, Controlled Firing Area, Prohibited, Restricted, Alert, Warning, National Security Area, Special Flight Rules Area, and Military Training Routes
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) Defined
Air traveled restricted for Safety, Example: Large Gatherings of People, Special Events, VIP’s (Not depicted on VFR charts, released via NOTAM)
Terminal Radar Service Area (TRSA) Defined
A Terminal Radar Service Area (TRSA) is an area where participating pilots can receive additional radar services. The purpose of the service is to provide separation between all IFR operations and participating VFR aircraft.
Military Operations Area (MOA) Defined
Depicted by red stripes, pilots should remain alert of activities may include (Air Combat, Intercepts, Low-Level work, possibly less then 250kts)
MOA statuses change frequently
Contact nearest FSS for information
Contact controlling frequency prior to entering
Controlled Firing Area (CFA) Defined
Contain activities may be hazardous to aircraft
Not depicted on VFR charts
Activities suspended if any aircraft approach area
Prohibited Area Defined
Blue stripped pattern, Flight is prohibited due to security reasons or national welfare
Restricted Area Defined
Depicted by blue stripped pattern, subject to restrictions, may contain hazards to aircraft, (authorization required, contact the controlling agency prior to entering)
Alert Area Defined
High Volumes of Pilot Training or unusual aerial activity
Depicted by red stripes
Pilots in alert areas should remain on high alert
Warning Area Defined
Depicted by blue stripes, begin 3NM from coasts and extend outward, Potentially contain hazards to aircraft
