Flight through a restricted area should not be accomplished unless the pilot has
A
filed an IFR flight plan.
B
received prior authorization from the controlling agency.✓ Correct Answer
C
received prior permission from the commanding officer of the nearest military base.
Explanation
14 CFR 91.133(a) prohibits operating within a restricted area contrary to its restrictions unless the pilot has permission of the using or controlling agency, as appropriate. Filing IFR does not by itself authorize penetration of an active restricted area, and the controlling agency, not the nearest base commander, gives the authorization.
