If operating under visual flight rules (VFR), yes, a pilot may fly through a military operations area (MOA) without receiving a clearance or communicating with ATC; however, it’s important to understand the risks and activities present within an active MOA. How can a pilot get more information on MOAs?

Flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) can, at times, feel like deciphering a complicated puzzle, especially when you’re staring at an approach chart filled with intricate details. Theyre officially called Instrument Approach Procedure (or IAP) charts, but pilots often casually call them approach plates.

There are different requirements if the flight is operated under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) or Visual Flight Rules (VFR). For example, a pilot flying IFR in controlled airspace will have to file an IFR flight plan and receive an ATC clearance. It typically extends to 4,000′ AGL.

Key Takeaways NOTAMs update pilots about changes in airspace, airports, and equipment that affect aircraft operations. Checking NOTAMs before flight is required by Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR 91.103). NOTAMs alert pilots to issues that impact flight operations. This tells pilots where the NOTAM applies.
