What must a pilot do or be aware of when transitioning an Alert Area?
A
All pilots must contact the controlling agency to ensure aircraft separation.
B
Non-participating aircraft may transit the area as long as they operate in accordance with their waiver.
C
Be aware that the area may contain unusual aeronautical activity or high volume of pilot training.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
AIM 3-4-6 says alert areas are depicted to inform pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or an unusual type of aerial activity; pilots should be particularly alert when flying in them. No contact with a controlling agency or waiver is needed to transit an alert area; all activity in it is conducted under the normal rules.
