  • National Security Area (NSAs)

MCPRAWN

41
Q

Military Operating Areas (MOAs)

A

Consists of an airspace with defined lateral and vertical limits established for the purpose of separating certain military training activites

Magenta ticked outline with the MOA named

42
Q

Is VFR flight allowed in MOAs?

A

VFR flight is permitted in a MOA but should exercise extreme caution

43
Q

Controlled Firing Areas

A

Airspace that contains activities that, if not conducted in a controlled environment, could be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft

Not charted on VFR sectionals

44
Q

Is VFR flight allowed through Controlled Firing Areas?

A

Yes; activities will be suspended immeadiately when a spotter aircraft, radar, or lookout indicate that an aircraft might be approaching the area

45
Q

Prohibited Areas

A

Airspace with defined dimensions where the flight of aircraft is prohibited due to security or other reasons due to national welfare

Blue ticked outline with the Prohibited Area name

46
Q

Restricted Areas

A

Airspace in which the flight of aircraft, while not wholly prohibited, is subject to restrictions.

Restricted areas denote the existence of unusual, often invisible, hazards to aircraft such as artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or guided missiles

47
Q

Is VFR flight allowed in Restricted Areas?

A

VFR flights are allowed but pilots should check with the controlling agency to be aware if the airspace will be active or not

48
Q

Alert Areas

A

Areas of airspace that may contain high volue of pilot training or an unusual type of aerial activity

49
Q

Is VFR flight allowed through Alert Area?

A

Yes

50
Q

Warning Areas

A

Airspace of defined dimensions that extend 3NM outward from the coast of the US that contains activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft

It’s purpose is to warn nonparticipating pilots of potential danger

Blue ticked outline with the Warning Area name

51
Q

National Security Areas

A

Consists of an airspace with defined lateral and vertical limits **established at locations where there is a requirement for increased security and safety of ground facilities **

Depicted as dark magenta blocked lines

52
Q

Is VFR flight allowed in National Security Areas?

A

Flight is permitted but pilots are requested to voluntarily avoid flying through the area
