Airspace & ChartsQuestion 54 of 100
A sectional shows a large area outlined with a magenta hatched border and labeled with a name followed by the letters MOA. What does this depiction mean for a Part 107 operation planned inside its lateral boundaries?
a.Entry requires an ATC authorization request under §107.41 before the flight begins
b.Flight is not prohibited, but military training may bring fast aircraft into the area
c.Civil aircraft including small UAS are barred from the area whenever it is active
d.The label identifies a Class E surface area that requires an ATC authorization
Explanation
A Military Operations Area separates certain nonhazardous military training activities from IFR traffic, and Part 107 does not prohibit small UAS flight inside one, so no §107.41 authorization is triggered by the MOA itself. Because military aircraft may be maneuvering at high speed and low altitude, a remote pilot should check the chart panel for hours of use and stay especially alert. An MOA is special use airspace, not a Class E surface area.
