What term refers to an area established to inform pilots of a specific area wherein a high volume of pilot training or an unusual type of aeronautical activity is conducted?

• A. Alternate Airport
• B. Alert Area
• C. Amateur Rocket
• D. Appliance

Answer: (B)

Alert Areas are areas designated to warn pilots that in that area there is a higher-than-usual volume of pilot training or unusual aeronautical activity. They’re shown on sectional charts with the label ALERT AREA and a descriptive name, and they’re not restricted airspace. This means you can fly through them, but you should expect more uncoordinated traffic, such as training flights or aerobatics, and exercise extra caution. The other terms describe different concepts: an Alternate Airport is simply a backup landing site, while Amateur Rocket and Appliance don’t refer to a charted airspace designation.
