Study Notes
Restricted Airspace Hazards
- Restricted areas like R-5302B may have invisible hazards such as artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or guided missiles.
VFR Visibility and Cloud Clearance
- Class E airspace requires 3 miles visibility during VFR operations.
- Cloud clearance requirements include 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet horizontally from clouds.
Military Operations Area (MOA) Precautions
- Pilots should exercise extreme caution when operating in an MOA due to potential military activities.
- Collision avoidance is a responsibility for all pilots in alert areas, whether participating or transiting.
Requirements for Class C Airspace
- Aircraft operating in Class C airspace must have a 4096-code transponder with Mode C encoding capability for altitude reporting.
Class C Airspace Outer Area Radius
- The normal radius of the outer area for Class C airspace is 20 nautical miles from the primary airport.
Class B Airspace Floor
- The floor of the Class B airspace over Hicks Airport is at 4,000 feet MSL, as indicated by the codes 110/40.
Hazards in MOAs
- Activities in MOAs, such as Devils Lake East, may include military training involving aerobatics, formation training, and air combat tactics.
Savannah Class C Airspace Shelf Area
- The floor of Savannah's Class C airspace at the shelf area is 1,300 feet MSL, with a total altitude from 1,300 feet to 4,100 feet.
Wildlife Refuge Flight Altitude
- Pilots are requested to maintain a minimum altitude of 2,000 feet AGL when flying over National Wildlife Refuges and related areas.
Airport Advisory Area Protocol
- Before entering an Airport Advisory Area, pilots are recommended to contact the local FSS for traffic and airport advisories.
IFR Training Routes
- Military flight operations on IR 644 involve IFR training flights conducted above 1,500 feet AGL and potentially exceed speeds of 250 knots.
