26
Vector aircraft in class ___airspace only upon the pilots request and as an additional service
G
27
What is the hierarchy of airspace classes in the event of an overlap
A >B>C>D>E>G
28
TRSA
Terminal radar service area
29
TFRs
Temporary flight restriction's
30
Provides greater vectoring, sequencing and separation, - separates all IFR aircraft, - separates participating VFR aircraft, - pilot participation is urged but not mandatory.
TRSA
31
Disaster or hazardous situations, - aircraft accident/incident sites, - aviation or ground resources engage in wild fire suppression, - aircraft relief activities following a disaster, - support of Vip movements, - reasons of national security
TFRs
32
Issued within the sovereign airspace of the US and its territories to restrict certain aircraft from operating within a defined area on a temporary basis to protect persons or property in the air or on the ground
TFRs
33
- generic controlled airspace, - generally extends from 1200 AGL to the base of the overline controlled airspace, - selected areas extend down to 700 AGL or the surface What class?
E
34
Requires two way radio communication, - only in effect when the towers open - no separation provided for VFR aircraft
Class D
35
Requires two way communication, mode C transponder, | VFR aircraft separated from IFR aircraft
Class C
36
Requires a clearance, two way communication, mood C transponder. - Separation provided to all aircraft. - Student pilots require specific training
Class B airspace
37
All aircraft must be IFR - requires two way communication, mode C transponder. - Extends upward from 18,000 feet mean sea level to fight level 600
Class A
38
Designated airspace for the flight of an aircraft is not permitted, without permission of the using agency
Prohibited area – P
39
Prohibited areas are identified by what
"P" letter, a dash, plus number | P-42
40
Designated airspace above US land areas or territorial waters, within which flight of aircraft is not totally prohibited, but is subject to restrictions
Restricted area - R
41
Restricted areas are identified how
A letter "R" a dash, and number
42
Necessary to confine or savory activities considered hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft. Artillery practice, missile activities or aerial gunner a practice or some examples of this area
Restricted area
43
Airspace of defined dimensions, extending from three nautical miles outward from the coast of the US, designated to contain activity that maybe hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft
Warning area – W
44
How is a warning area identified

45
Purpose of this area is to or not participating pilot of the potential danger from activities being connected
Warning area
46
Airspace wearing a high volume of pilot training or an unusual type of aeronautical activity is conducted
Alert area – a
47
To inform nonparticipating pilots of areas that contain a high-volume a pilot training operations, or unusual type of aeronautical activity, that they might not otherwise expecting a counter
Alert area
48
How are alert areas identified
By the letter a, followed by a dash, and two or three digit number
49
Where can alert areas not extend into?
Class a, B, C and D airspace or class E airport surface areas. Should avoid federal airways, major terminal areas, high-volume VFR routes

54
Designated to contain activities that if not conducted and controlled environment would be hazardous to non participating aircraft
Controlled firing area - CFA
55

CFA– controlled firing area
56
Airspace of defined vertical and lateral limits establish outside of class A airspace for the purpose of separating certain military training activities from IFR traffic and to identify for VFR traffic where these activities are conducted
Military operations area – MOA
57
These areas are designed to contain nonhazardous, military flight activities including, but not limited to, air about maneuvers, air intercepts, low altitude tactics
MOA
58
How is a MOA identified
Buy a name followed by the acronym MOA and the two letter state abbreviation Hollis MOA SHELLARD 1 MOA
59
Consists of airspace of defined lateral and vertical dimensions established at locations where there is a requirement for increased security of ground facilities
National security area – NSA
60
This is designated to enhance national security and protect national assets
NSA
61
What are the dimensions for an NSA area
There are no standard dimensions the dimensions should be the minimum to promote the protection of the asset
62
Pilots are requested to _______ avoid flying through the NSA
