To segregate military training activities from aircraft operating under instrument flight rules. What is the minimum ceiling and visibility for takeoff, landing, or entering the traffic pattern of an airport in Class E airspace under visual flight rules? What is the purpose of an Alert Area? Both are correct.

AGL Above Ground Level AGL is simply a way to tell the basis from which any given height or altitude is measured. Simply put, 400 feet AGL means that the 400 feet is measured from the underlying ground surface above the specific airspace. It consists of two independent components VOR and TACAN.

Before RNAV, pilots had to rely on radios (NAVAIDs) and antennas on the ground such as VORs (Very High-Frequency Omnidirectional Range) and NDBs (Non-Directional Beacons). Theyre especially useful for airports that dont have the budget or suitable terrain to install an Instrument Landing System (ILS). So, why is LPV so accurate?

Class B airspace is also charted on VFR Sectionals and instrument flight rules (IFR) Enroute Low Altitude charts. If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS). Stay clear of the Class B boundaries if you’re flying under a shelf with a floor less than 3,000 feet AGL.

Military Operations Area Military Operation Areas (MOA) , are segments of airspace defined by vertical and lateral limits used to segregate military training activities from aircraft operating under instrument flight rules. MTR’s with segments above 1,500′ AGL are identified by a three-digit number.
