Q

Area Forecast vs Terminal Forecast

A

Area is reported in MSL and Terminal is AGL

24
Q

Blue/Green Airports vs Brown Airports

A

Brown airports do not have Instrument Approaches or Radar Minimums

25
MEA
Minimum Enroute Altitude - Guaranteed clearance of 1,000ft in non-mountainous and 2,000 in mountainous
26
MOCA
Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude with radar reception within 22NM
27
Contact Approach vs Visual Approach
Contact - At pilots request with 1NM visibility and clear of clouds Visual - Pilot must have airport or preceding aircraft in sight and proceed VMC
28
