35
Q

When is it legal to fly through Restricted airspace ?

A

If it is cold
(Check with the controlling agency to verify it is cold)

36
Q

A

Permission from the controlling area

37
Q

What hazards may exist to aircraft in restricted airspace?

A

Unusual , often unseen hazards such as gunnery or guided missiles

38

39
Q

What should a pilot do before entering a MOA

A

Contact the controlling agency

( call the controlling agency for advisories)

Q

MOA’s are identified on sectionals by

A

magenta hashed lines

41
Q

Magenta hashed lines on a sectional identify both…

A

MOA and Alert areas

42

Q

On a sectional, a small “H” inside a solid black circle at the upper right corner of the navigation box indicates …

A

Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service (HIWAS) is available

50
Q

In class C airspace, what 3 radar services are provided?

A
  1. Sequence to primary airport
  2. IFR/ VFR separation
  3. Basic radar service such as traffic advisories
51
Q

NOTAM (D), one of 5 types of notams, are expected to remain in effect for…

A

An extended period

52
Q

May a pilot fly through a Restricted airspace if it is cold?

A

If the restricted area is “cold” or not being used, and you have a legitimate reason to fly through the airspace, you might get approval. But at the end of the day, the decision is up to the controlling agency.

53
Q

How to request permission to fly through a Restricted area…

Request permission of the controlling agency by phone prior to arriving at the Restricted airspace. Don’t call ATC on the radio just prior to entering.
