Military airspace

Military airspace is any area in which military aircraft are present and participate in a variety of activities. There are many kinds of airspace.

Military operating areas

A military operations area (MOA) is a zone in which military aircraft conduct non-hazardous exercises. It is highly recommended that pilots check for information on the MOA before proceeding into the zone.^[1]

Controlled firing zones

Controlled firing zones are operated in such a way that they do not interfere with and/or pose a threat to civilian aircraft.^[1]

Alert areas

Alert areas are zones where unusual air exercises like pilot training are performed. Once again pilots are advised to contact the area prior to entering.
