54
Q

MOA

A

Military operations area: defined vertical and lateral limits established for the purpose of separating certain military training operations from IFR traffic. Pilots flying under VFR should exercise extreme caution when flying through

color on sectional: red
fly through: yes

55

Controlled firing area: contain activities which could be hazardous to non participation aircrafts

color on sectional: not depicted
fly through: yes

56
Q

Prohibited Airspace

A

Areas contain airspace of defined dimensions within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited; established for security or reasons of National well being

Fly through: NO

57
Q

Restricted airspace

A

Airspace identified by an area which the flight of aircraft isn’t completely prohibited, but still subject to restrictions. Need clearance from controlling facility to fly in/through if active

color on sectional: blue
fly through: yes, with clearance

58
Q

Alert airspace

A

Depicted on aeronautical chart to inform nonparticipating pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or any unusual type of aerial activity; pilots should be particularly alert in these areas

color on sectional: red
Fly through: yes

59
Q

Warning airspace

A

Airspace extending 3 NM outward from the coast of the US that contains activity hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft, purpose of airspace is to warn pilots of potential danger

A

National security area: defined airspace where there is a requirement for increased security and safety for ground facilities

Color on sectional: red
Fly through: yes

61
Q

Stall

A

A rapid decrease in lift caused by the separation of airflow from the wings surface, brought on by exceeding the angle of attack. The indicated airspeed at which the stall occurs will be determined by weight and load factor, but the stall always occurs at the same angle of attack.
