The term for airspace established outside Class A to separate non-hazardous military activities from IFR traffic and to identify for VFR traffic where these activities are conducted is what?

• A. Military Operations Area
• B. Restricted Area
• C. Alert Area
• D. Prohibited Area

Answer: (A)

Military Operations Area. These airspaces are set up outside Class A to separate non-hazardous military training from IFR traffic and to show VFR pilots where those activities take place. IFR traffic is kept separated from the military operations by ATC, while VFR pilots can transit the area when it’s not active or when they’ve taken appropriate precautions and checked current activity schedules. The other options describe different types of restricted or special-use airspace that either impose prohibitions or warn of hazards, not the purpose of separating military operations from IFR traffic or marking where those activities occur.
