MOAs provide separation between which activities?

MOAs provide separation between which activities?

• A. Prohibit all IFR traffic.
• B. Reroute all IFR traffic.
• C. Nonparticipating IFR traffic may be cleared to fly through if ATC can provide IFR separation.
• D. Only VFR traffic allowed.

Answer: (C)

MOAs are designed to keep military activity separate from other air traffic. When an MOA is active, ATC protects the airspace by providing IFR separation between any nonparticipating IFR traffic and the ongoing military operations inside the MOA. If ATC can ensure the required separation, nonparticipating IFR traffic may be cleared through the MOA. If that separation can’t be assured, ATC will typically reroute or otherwise manage the traffic. MOAs do not automatically prohibit IFR traffic, nor do they restrict to just VFR traffic.
