Old standard 1.7nm
Expanded is 2.7-3.3

Terminal Procedures Publication (or digital supplement)

Question 16

Study the cold weather and CDI stuff

Question 17

What does MEA stand for and when is it used?

Answer 17

Minimum En Route Altitude
Lowest published altitude between radio fixes that ensures navigation signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance between those fixes

Question 18

What does OROCA stand for and when is it used?

Answer 18

Off Route Obstacle Clearance Altitude

is an off-route altitude that provides obstruction clearance with a 1,000-foot buffer in non-mountainous terrain areas, and a 2,000-foot buffer in mountainous areas. This altitude doesn’t guarantee signal coverage from ground-based NAVAIDs, ATC radar, or communications coverage.

Question 19

What does MCA stand for and how does it apply to IFR operations?

Answer 19

An MCA is the lowest altitude at certain fixes at which the aircraft must cross when proceeding in the direction of a higher minimum en route IFR altitude.

Question 20

What does MRA stand for and how does it apply to IFR operations?

Answer 20

Minimum Reception Altitude

The lowest altitude at which the intersection can be determined using the ground based navigation aids.

When the MRA at the fix is higher than the MEA, an MRA is established for the fix and is the lowest altitude at which an intersection can be determined.

Question 21

What does MOCA stand for and how does it apply to IFR operations?

Answer 21

Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude

the lowest published altitude that meets obstacle clearance requirements for a direct route segment.

This altitude also assures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 22 NM of a VOR.

Question 22
