Military operating areas

Military Operating Areas (MOA) are zones 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.

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.

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.
