Airspace Quiz

What is the purpose of establishing prohibited areas in airspace?

• To provide a safe space for pilot training

• To protect government interests and ecologically sensitive areas

• To create a recreational zone for unmanned aerial vehicles

• To enhance commercial air traffic efficiency

When are large Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) often implemented around prohibited areas?

• When there is increased air traffic

• When the President is present

• During routine military exercises

• When there is a technological failure in the airspace system

What is the range of prohibited area ceilings according to the image?

• Surface level to 5,000 feet MSL

• 2,000 feet MSL to 20,000 feet MSL

How are notices of new, uncharted prohibited areas disseminated to airmen?

• Through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) website

• Via the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) system

• By updating the aeronautical charts

• Through direct communication to pilots via radio

How do the size and shape of restricted airspace areas vary?

• Based on the weather conditions

• Based on the operation areas they restrict

• They are all uniform in size and shape

• Based on international agreements

Where can information about the times and altitudes of operation for a restricted area be found?

• On the aircraft's onboard computer

• In the pilot's operating handbook

• On the sectional aeronautical chart

• On the airport's notice board
