What is Special use airspace(MCPRAWN)

Military Operating Areas(MOAs), Controlled Firing Areas(CFAs), Prohibited, Restricted, Alert Areas, Warning Areas, National Security areas.

What is aa MOA

You can legally fly through an active MOA without permission if you’re under VFR. However, doing so could bring you face-to-face with fighter jets flying over 250 knots.

Always call up the controlling agency before entering a MOA.

Sectional charts depict MOAs with a hashed magenta border. You can find the MOA name written inside.

What are CFAs

They aren’t depicted on the map and they rely on ground spotters and radar spotting the aircraft to stop operations. You do not need permission to fly through them.

What are prohibited areas

Prohibited areas define airspace where aircraft are not permitted. No exceptions. These areas exist for reasons of national security or welfare.

Expect serious repercussions should you stumble into one, possibly including jail time.

Sectional charts depict Prohibited areas with a hatched blue border. They’re identified by the letter P followed by numbers.

What are restricted areas

Restricted areas contain hazardous activities like artillery firing and guided missile launches. The purpose of Restricted areas is to separate civilian traffic from these activities. 

Thankfully, avoiding Restricted areas is easy. Your sectional chart depicts them with a hatched blue border and the letter R followed by a number

You need permission from ATC before you enter if the area is “HOT”

What are alert areas

Alert areas inform pilots that the area may contain a high volume of aerial activity. Intensive flight training areas are a common reason for Alert area designation.

Sectional charts depict Alert areas with a hatched magenta border and an “A” followed by a number.

What are warning areas

Warning areas start 3 nautical miles from the U.S. coastline and extend outward. Like Restricted areas, they contain activities hazardous to civil aircraft. High-speed military jets and missile launches are common inside Warning areas.

Sectional charts depict Warning areas with a blue-hatched border. They’re identified by the letter W followed by numbers.

What are national security areas

National Security Areas (NSAs) protect the security and safety of ground facilities. For example, an NSA may cover a nuclear power plant or a military weapons research facility.

Sectional charts depict NSAs with thick, dashed magenta lines. There will be a notice listed nearby that includes specific altitude restrictions.

The FAA doesn’t wholly prohibit flight in NSAs. However, they request pilots avoid flying through them.

A Notice to Air Mission (NOTAM) may temporarily prohibit flight in an NSA. Check NOTAMs and contact ATC before flying through an NSA.
