Which of the following is a listed example of special use airspace?

• A. MOA
• B. Class B
• C. Class C
• D. Class D

Answer: (A)

Special use airspace is airspace designated for activities that require special precautions by pilots. A Military Operations Area is one of these, set aside for military training and operations. Because of potential military activity, IFR traffic will be separated by ATC within an active MOA, and VFR pilots enter at their own risk and should proceed with extra caution or avoid if the activities are active. The other options belong to standard controlled airspace around airports (class B, C, and D), which are not categorized as special use airspace and have different entry and separation requirements. So the listed example of special use airspace is the Military Operations Area.
