In relation to Class A airspace, MOAs are located where?

• A. Outside Class A airspace
• B. Inside Class A airspace
• C. Partly inside, partly outside
• D. Not related to Class A

Answer: (A)

MOAs are a type of Special Use Airspace designed to contain military training activities. They are located outside Class A airspace. Class A, from 18,000 feet MSL up to FL600, is IFR-only and highly controlled, with no VFR operations. Since MOAs are meant to coordinate with civilian traffic in lower altitudes where VFR traffic operates, there’s no practical need for them to be inside Class A. They can be designated in other airspace classes (like B, C, D, or E) where civilian and military activities can intersect, and pilots should check MOA status when planning a flight.
