PAPER QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
⩥ Airports shown on the U.S. High Enroute Charts (Contiguous US)
have a minimum hard surface runway of.
Answer: 5,000
⩥ Blue.
Answer: - Airports with an Instrument Approach Procedure and/or
RADAR MINIMA published in the high altitude DoD Flight
Information Publications (FLIPs)
⩥ • Green.
Answer: - Airports which have an approved Instrument Approach
Procedure and/or RADAR MINIMA published in either the U.S.
Terminal Procedures Publications (TPPs) or the DoD FLIPs
⩥ Brown.
Answer: - Airports without a published Instrument Approach Procedure
or RADAR MINIMA
⩥ Course +/- WCA.
,Answer: Heading
⩥ • True +/- Variation.
Answer: Magnetic
⩥ • IFR Enroute Low Altitude Charts (from 1,200' AGL to but not
including FL 180).
Answer: - VOR - LF/MF - Area Navigation (RNAV)
⩥ • IFR Enroute High Altitude Charts (from FL 180 to FL 450).
Answer: - Jet Route - Area Navigation (RNAV)
⩥ Military Training Routes (MTRs).
Answer: Established for the conduct of low-altitude, high-speed military
flight training. - Generally below 10,000 feet MSL at airspeeds in excess
of 250 knots Indicated Air Speed
⩥ If both a MEA and a MOCA are prescribed for a particular route.
Answer: a person may operate an aircraft below the MEA down to, but
not below, the MOCA.
⩥ For aircraft using VOR for navigation, this applies only when the
aircraft.
,Answer: within 22 nautical miles of that VOR
⩥ In the case of operations over an area designated as a mountainous
area.
Answer: 2,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal
distance of 4 nautical miles from the course to be flown
⩥ In any other case.
Answer: 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal
distance of 4 nautical miles from the course to be flown.
⩥ Climb to a higher minimum IFR altitude shall begin....
Answer: n immediately after passing the point beyond which that
minimum altitude applies.
⩥ "Cruise".
Answer: To assign a block of airspace to a pilot from the minimum IFR
altitude up to and including the altitude specified in the cruise clearance.
⩥ • Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA).
Answer: Lowest MSL altitude at which aircraft will be vectored by a
radar controller, except at otherwise authorized for radar approaches,
departures, and missed approaches. May be lower than MEA or J-route
, segment. Charts depicting MVA typically only available to controllers,
not pilots
⩥ Minimum Enroute Altitude (MEA).
Answer: The lowest published altitude between radio fixes that assures
acceptable navigational signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance
requirements between those fixes.
⩥ Minimum Reception Altitude (MRA).
Answer: The minimum altitude the navigation signal can be received for
the route and for off-course NAVAID facilities that determine a fix.
⩥ Maximum Authorized Altitude (MAA).
Answer: The highest altitude on a Federal airway, jet route, RNAV low
or high route, or other direct route for which an MEA is designated at
which adequate reception of navigation signals is assured.
⩥ Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude (MOCA).
Answer: The lowest published altitude in effect between radio fixes on
VOR airways, off-airway routes, or route segments, which meets
obstacle clearance requirements for the entire route segment and which
ensures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 25 statute
(22 nautical) miles of a VOR.
⩥ Minimum Crossing Altitude (MCA).
