Military Training Routes (MTRs) Correct 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 Correct 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 Correct answer-within 22
nautical miles of that VOR
In the case of operations over an area designated as a mountainous area Correct 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 Correct 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... Correct answer-n immediately after passing
the point beyond which that minimum altitude applies.
"Cruise" Correct 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) Correct 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) Correct 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) Correct 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) Correct 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) Correct 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) Correct answer-The lowest altitude at certain fixes at which the
aircraft must cross when proceeding in the direction of a higher minimum enroute IFR altitude.
• Minimum Turning Altitude (MTA) Correct answer-- Provides vertical and lateral obstacle
clearance in turns over certain fixes
• Off Route Obstruction Clearance Altitude (OROCA) Correct answer-Provides obstruction
clearance within 4 NM on either side. (1,000 ft non-mountainous, 2,000 ft mountainous)
May NOT provide signal coverage from ground based NAVAIDS
Changeover Point (COP) Correct answer-A point along the route or airway segment between two
adjacent navigation facilities or waypoints where changeover in navigation guidance should occur.
The pilot should change navigation receiver frequency from the station behind the aircraft to the
station ahead.
• Fly-by waypoints Correct answer-Fly-by waypoints are used when an aircraft should begin a turn
to the next course prior to reaching the waypoint separating the two route segments.
• Fly-over waypoints. Correct answer-Fly-over waypoints are used when the aircraft must fly over
the point prior to starting a turn
Flights Along Airways or Routes Correct answer-Regardless of altitude, a position report is required
by all flights over each designated compulsory reporting point.
Flights Along a Direct Route Correct answer-Regardless of the altitude or flight level being flown,
pilots must report over each reporting point used in the flight plan to define the route of flight.
, Flights in a Radar Environment Correct answer-When informed by ATC that their aircraft are in
"Radar Contact," pilots should discontinue position reports over designated reporting points.
Flights in an Oceanic (Non-radar) Environment Correct answer-Pilots must report over each point
used in the flight plan to define the route of flight, , even if the point is depicted on aeronautical
charts as an "on request" (non-compulsory) reporting point.
MARVELOUSVFRC500 Correct answer-Missed approach
Airspeed change
Reaching a holding fix
Vacating any previous assigned altitude
ETA change
Leaving an assigned holding fix or point
*Outer marker
Unforcast weather
Safety of flight jeopardized

180˚ - 359˚ Correct answer-Even-thousand intervals
- 360˚ - 179˚ Correct answer-Odd-thousand intervals
At cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet (MSL) up to and including 14,000 feet (MSL) Correct
answer-Unless the required minimum flight crew is provided with and uses supplemental oxygen for
that part of the flight at those altitudes that is of more than 30 minutes duration
At cabin pressure altitudes above 14,000 feet (MSL) Correct answer-Unless the required minimum
flight crew is provided with and uses supplemental oxygen during the entire flight time at those
altitudes
At cabin pressure altitudes above 15,000 feet (MSL) Correct answer-Unless each occupant of the
aircraft is provided with supplemental oxygen.
Unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator, no person may operate an aircraft below 10,000

Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft at or below 2,500
feet above the surface within 4 nautical miles of the primary airport of a Class C or Class D airspace
area at an indicated airspeed of more than Correct answer-200 knots
