Flying VFR through an active military operations area (MOA), what should a pilot do?

Exercise extreme caution while military activity is going on.

  1. Exercise extreme caution ✔
  2. Get a clearance before entering
  3. Stay on the airways through it

Why: MOAs separate military training from IFR traffic. VFR pilots may enter without a clearance but should exercise extreme caution and check the MOA's status first.

Huh, didn't know that: In active MOAs, military aircraft are authorized to fly faster than 250 knots below 10,000 feet MSL.

Why are fighter pilots great at karaoke? They always hit the high notes.
