Why can controlled firing areas operate without being charted?
- A.Spotter aircraft or ground observers suspend the activity when an aircraft might enter the area
- B.The activities use no projectiles of any kind
- C.They are located entirely inside Class A airspace
Correct answer
A. Spotter aircraft or ground observers suspend the activity when an aircraft might enter the area
Why
Safety in a controlled firing area relies on spotters who stop the activity as soon as a nonparticipating aircraft approaches. That safeguard, not the type of projectile or the airspace class, is why charting is not required.
