Lesson 40

Question 1

Altitude Reservation (ALTRV)

Answer 1

mass movement of a/c under special user requirements that cannot otherwise be accomplished
- special handling from FAA facilities

Question 2

ATC shall provide inflight separation unless ______ is applicable

Answer 2

MARSA military authority assumes responsibility for separation of a/c

Question 3

the application of MARSA as a military command prerogative covered by

Answer 3

• LOA

- appropriate FAA/military document

Question 4

MARSA will not be indiscriminately invoked by individual

Answer 4

• units

- pilots

Question 5

special use airspace

Answer 5

defined dimensions identified by an area on the surface of the earth wherein activities must be confined because of their nature and/or wherein limitations may be imposed upon a/c ops that are not part of those activities

Question 6

alert area

Answer 6

may contain high volume of pilot training activities or an unusual type of aerial activity, neither of which is hazardous to a/c

Question 7

controlled firing area

Answer 7

activities are conducted under conditions so controlled as to eliminate hazards to nonparticipating a/c and ensure safety of persons/property on the ground

Question 8

military operations area (MOA)

Answer 8

outside of class A airspace area to separate or segregate certain nonhazardous military activities from IFR traffic and to identify for VFR traffic where these activities are conducted

Question 9

prohibited area

Answer 9

no person may operate an a/c without the permission of the using agency

Question 10

restricted area

Answer 10

flight of a/c, while not wholly prohibited, is subject to restriction.
- joint use

Question 11

warning area

Answer 11

extending 3 nm outward from the coast of the US that contains activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating a/c
- domestic or international waters

Question 12

ATC Assigned Airspace (ATCAA)

Answer 12

defined vertical/lateral limits for the purpose of providing air traffic segregation between the specified activities being conducted within the assigned airspace and other IFR traffic
- normally overlies other SUA

Question 13

apply the appropriate separation minima between nonparticipating a/c and SUA/ATCAA unless

Answer 13

• pilot informs you permission has been obtained from the using agency to operate in airspace
• using agency informs you they have given permission for a/c to operate in airspace
• SUA/ATCAA has been released to controlling agency
• a/c on approved ALTRV

Question 14

separate nonparticipating a/c from active SUA/ATCAA by

Answer 14

• FL290 and below 500 ft
• above FL290 1000 ft
• lateral FL600 and above: 6 miles
• lateral below FL600: 3 miles

Question 15

military training route (MTR)

Answer 15

• IR/VR
• 250+ kts, below 10000 ft msl
• low altitude nav and tactical training

Question 16

celestial navigation (CELNAV)

Answer 16

finding ones geographic position by means of astronomical observations
- advise ATC before initiating any heading changes which exceed 20 degrees

Question 17

standard formation: each wingman will maintain a position no more than ______

Answer 17

1 mile laterally, longitudinally

100 feet vertically

Question 18

nonstandard formation is a formation in which

Answer 18

Question 19

control formation flights as

Answer 19

a single a/c

Question 20

separate standard formation and other radar-identified a/c

Answer 20

add 1 mile to radar separation minima

Question 21

separate two standard formation flights

Answer 21

add 2 miles to radar separation minima

Question 22

separate nonstandard formation flight and other radar-identified a/c

Answer 22

• apply separation minima to perimeters of nonstandard formation
• assign an appropriate beacon code to each a/c in formation or first and last a/c in formation

Question 23

forward to FSS the following information from airborne military flights

Answer 23

• IFR flight plans
• changes from VFR to IFR flight plans
• changes to IFR flight plans such as change in destination or change in fuel exhaustion time
