Question 12

What are the 7 Special use airspace’s? (NWCRAMP)

Answer 12

N-National Security Airspace’s
W-Warning areas
C-Controlled firing areas
R-Restricted Areas
A-Alert areas
M-MOA
P-Prohibited

Question 13

What are National Security Areas?

Answer 13

NSAs are a compromise between normal airspace and restricted or prohibited airspace. NSAs can be temporarily converted into restricted airspace by NOTAMs. (Can sometimes fly through them, best to contact ATC)

Question 14

What are Warning Areas?

Answer 14

A warning area is airspace of defined dimensions, extending from three nautical miles outward from the coast of the U.S., that contains activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft. Most require a flight plan and clearance to cross.

Question 15

What are controlled firing areas?

Answer 15

is established to contain activities, which if not conducted in a controlled environment, would be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft.
(Can fly though them just use caution)

Question 16

What is a Restricted Area?

Answer 16

Restricted areas denote the existence of unusual, often invisible, hazards to aircraft such as artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or guided missiles.
(Can get a clearance through when they are not active, through atc)

Question 17

What is an alert area?

Answer 17

Alert areas are established to inform nonparticipating pilots of areas that contain a high volume of pilot training operations, or an unusual type of aeronautical activity, that they might not otherwise expect to encounter.
(Can fly though just be alert)

Question 18

What is a MOA?

Answer 18

A military operations area (MOA) is airspace established outside of Class A airspace to separate or segregate certain non-hazardous military flight activities.
(Can fly through, use caution and talk to atc)

Question 19

What is a probibited area?

Answer 19

A prohibited area is an airspace of defined dimensions, above the land area or territorial waters of a state, within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited.
(Cannot fly in, talk to atc to go around)

Question 20

What is Day and night VFR fuel requirements?

Answer 20

30 mins after destination during day, 45 mins at night.

Question 21

What is VFR cruising altitudes?

Answer 21

After 3000ft
0-179 use odd thousand plus 500
180-360 use even thousand plus 500
