FAA Figure 53Sectional chart excerpt (Madera, CA)FAA-CT-8080-1E · Commercial Pilot supplement
A
Exercise extreme caution while in the boundaries of the MOA.✓ Correct Answer
B
Avoid the MOA, VFR, and IFR flights are prohibited during day light hours.
C
Contact the aircraft operating in the MOA on the Guard frequency of 121.5.
Explanation
AIM 3-4-5 says VFR pilots may fly through an active MOA but should exercise extreme caution, and are encouraged to contact the controlling agency or FSS for traffic advisories. MOAs are not prohibited to VFR or IFR traffic, and 121.5 is the emergency frequency, not a way to talk to the military aircraft in the MOA.
