1
Q

What is a Transponder?

A

Beacon (squawk), 4 digit code

Mode C, “Squawk Altitude”
broadcasts pressure altitude
to Air Traffic Control (ATC)
 ADS-B integrated into the
transponder
 In general, airspace that requires a transponder also requires ADS-B out at a minimum

37
Q

What are prohibited airspaces used for?

A

Are established for security or other reasons associated with the national welfare. Aircraft are forbidden to enter Prohibited Areas.

38
Q

What does a Restricted Airspace depict?

A

Denote the existence of unusual, often invisible hazards to aircraft such as artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or guided missiles.

39
Q

What are Military Operating Areas (MOA)?

A

Military Operations Area (MOA) consists of airspace of defined vertical and lateral limits established for the purpose of separating
military training activity from IFR traffic.

40
Q

Are VFR aircraft allowed in a MOA?

A

Yes, however, pilots should be alert since training activities may include
acrobatic flight and abrupt maneuvers.

41
Q

What is an Alert Area?

A

Established in areas with a high volume of pilot training or unusual type of aerial activity.

42
Q

What are the two types of Military Training Routes? (MTR)

A

‘IR’ are for IFR flights
‘VR’ are for VFR flights

43
Q

What are National Security Area (NSA)?

A
  • Established around areas requiring special security precautions
  • Pilots are requested to avoid flight below a specified altitude within the NSA
