Airspace & ChartsQuestion 55 of 100
A gray line on a sectional passes near a planned operating site and is labeled VR1207. What should a remote pilot understand from this label?
a.It is a visual route used only by aircraft operating above 18,000 ft MSL
b.It is an instrument route flown exclusively in instrument meteorological conditions
c.It is a VFR military training route whose four-digit number means segments at or below 1,500 ft AGL
d.It is a published Victor airway used by civil aircraft navigating between VOR stations
Explanation
VR identifies a VFR military training route, and a four-digit identifier means the route has no segment above 1,500 ft AGL, which places fast military traffic squarely in the altitude band used by small UAS. A three-digit or shorter number would indicate one or more segments above 1,500 ft AGL. IR routes are the instrument version of the same program, and Victor airways are drawn as blue-tinted corridors labeled with a V and a number.
