What action should a pilot take when operating under VFR in a Military Operations Area (MOA)?

A

Obtain a clearance from the controlling agency prior to entering the MOA.

B

Operate only on the airways that transverse the MOA.

C

Exercise extreme caution when military activity is being conducted.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

AIM 3-4-5 states that pilots operating under VFR should exercise extreme caution while flying within a MOA when military activity is being conducted, and recommends contacting the controlling agency for traffic advisories before entering an active MOA. A clearance is not required for VFR flight in a MOA, and there is no rule limiting VFR aircraft to airways through it.
