  Chapter 15: Airspace › Special Use Airspace › Restricted Areas

  Prohibited Areas Prohibited areas contain airspace of defined dimensions within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. Such areas are established for security or other reasons associated with the national welfare. These areas are published in the Federal Register ... depicted on aeronautical charts. The area is charted as a “P” followed by a number (e.g., P-40). Examples of prohibited areas include Camp David and the National Mall in Washington, D.C., where the White House and the Congressional buildings…

  those runways. Figure 14-19. Surface painted taxiway direction signs. Holding Position Signs and Markings for an Instrument Landing System (ILS) Critical Area The instrument landing system (ILS) broadcasts signals to arriving instrument aircraft to guide them to the runway ... Each of these ILSs have critical areas that must be kept clear of all obstacles in order to ensure quality of the broadcast signal. At many airports, taxiways extend into the ILS critical area. Most of the time, this…

  Chapter 13: Aviation Weather Services › Aviation Forecasts › Area Forecasts (FA)

  Area Forecasts (FA) The FA gives a picture of clouds, general weather conditions, and visual meteorological conditions (VMC) expected over a large area encompassing several states. There are six areas for which area forecasts are published in the contiguous ... states. Area forecasts are issued three times a day and are valid for 18 hours. This type of forecast gives information vital to en route operations, as well as forecast information for smaller airports that do not have terminal forecasts…

  Chapter 15: Airspace › Other Airspace Areas

  Controlled Firing Areas (CFAs) CFAs contain activities that, if not conducted in a controlled environment, could be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft. The difference between CFAs and other special use airspace is that activities must be suspended when a spotter aircraft ... radar, or ground lookout position indicates an aircraft might be approaching the area. There is no need to chart CFAs since they do not cause a nonparticipating aircraft to change its flight path. Other Airspace Areas “Other airspace areas…

  Chapter 15: Airspace › Special Use Airspace › Military Operation Areas (MOAs)

  Military Operation Areas (MOAs) MOAs consist of airspace with defined vertical and lateral limits established for the purpose of separating certain military training activities from IFR traffic. Whenever an MOA is being used, nonparticipating IFR traffic may be cleared through ... provided by ATC. Otherwise, ATC reroutes or restricts nonparticipating IFR traffic. MOAs are depicted on sectional, VFR terminal area, and en route low altitude charts and are not numbered (e.g., “Camden Ridge MOA”). [Figure 15-5] However…

If the wind velocity is 10 knots or greater, expect updrafts on the windward side and downdrafts ... side of obstacles. Plan the approach with these factors in mind, but be ready to alter plans if the wind speed or direction changes. Approach A high reconnaissance should be completed before initiating the confined area approach. Start the approach…
