Special Airspace Designations

If you see an area labeled "R-2305" on a sectional chart, where should you look to get additional information?

• Chart Supplements (formerly Airport/Facility Directory)

• By communicating with the nearest ATC or airport manager

• On the Sectional Chart

You've been hired by a farmer to use your drone to inspect his crops. His farm is within an MOA. How would you find out if the MOA is active?

• Refer to the Sectional Chart legend on the border of the chart

• This information is available in the Small UAS database

• In the Military Operations Directory

________________ areas contain airspace of defined dimensions within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. Such areas are established for security or other reasons associated with the national welfare.

• Prohibited

• Military operation areas (MOAs)

• Alert areas

___________ consist of airspace with defined vertical and lateral limits established for the purpose of separating certain military training activities from IFR traffic

• Prohibited Areas

• Warning Areas

• MOAs

__________ areas are depicted on aeronautical charts with an "A" followed by a number (e.g., A-211) to inform nonparticipating pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or an unusual type of aerial activity. Pilots should exercise caution in these areas.

• Alert

• Warning

• MOA

Who is responsible for collision avoidance in a Military Operations Area (MOA)?

• ATC controllers

• Each pilot

• Military controllers

What does a restricted area on a sectional chart mean?

• High-speed military training that requires unexpected maneuvers

• Unusual, often invisible, hazards to aircraft like artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or guided missiles

• Unusual type of aerial activity like a high volume of flight training

On a sectional chart, solid light blue lines that are labeled beginning with VR indicate

• Designated aircraft approach paths

• Military operating areas

• Military training routes

On a sectional chart, you notice a gray line with "VR1667". Could this area present a hazard to the operations of a small UA?

• No, all operations will be above 400 feet

• Yes, this is a Military Training Route with at least one route 1,500 feet AGL and below

• Yes, the defined route provides traffic separation to manned aircraft

The purpose of Military Training Routes, charted as "VR" and "IR" on sectional charts, is to ensure the greatest practical level of safety for all flight operations and to allow the military to conduct

• low altitude, high speed training

• radar instrument training

• air-to-air refueling training
