Read the first 7 Airspace Classification and NOTAMs flashcards as text

  1. Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) are issued as which type of NOTAM?

    Answer: FDC NOTAM

    TFRs are issued as FDC NOTAMs because they carry the force of law under 14 CFR Part 91 and constitute regulatory changes to the National Airspace System.

  2. When preparing a dispatch release, an aircraft dispatcher must review NOTAMs for which locations?

    Answer: Departure, destination, alternate airports, and en route navigation facilities

    A dispatcher must check NOTAMs for all airports and navigation aids involved in the planned flight, including departure, destination, alternates, and en route facilities, to ensure safe operations.

  3. IFR flight through an active Military Operations Area (MOA) requires which of the following?

    Answer: ATC to provide separation from known military traffic

    When operating IFR through an active MOA, ATC is responsible for providing separation from known military traffic, though pilots should exercise extra vigilance.

  4. Which class of airspace requires two-way radio communication establishment before entry but does NOT require an ATC clearance for VFR operations?

    Answer: Class C

    Class C airspace requires pilots to establish two-way radio communication with ATC before entry, but an explicit ATC clearance is not required for VFR operations.

  5. What is the radius of the outer ring of standard Class C airspace?

    Answer: 10 nautical miles

    The outer ring of Class C airspace extends from 5 to 10 NM from the primary airport, from 1,200 feet AGL to 4,000 feet AGL above the airport elevation.

  6. The Mode C transponder veil requiring an altitude-encoding transponder extends to what distance from a Class B primary airport?

    Answer: 30 nautical miles

    All aircraft within 30 NM of a Class B primary airport, from the surface up to 10,000 feet MSL, must be equipped with an operating Mode C transponder.

  7. A runway closure at a destination airport would typically be published as which type of NOTAM?

    Answer: NOTAM (D)

    Operational facility information such as runway and taxiway closures is issued as NOTAM (D), which is distributed nationally through the NOTAM system.
