ERAM Lab Procedures And SOP Practice Test

What action must students take regarding aircraft proceeding through JAN approach that conflict with MEI 1 West MOA?

Identify the conflicting aircraft and offer a solution to the Radar Controller Do nothing and maintain current separation Issue a new altitude clearance only Hand off to another sector immediately

Correct Answer:

Issue a new altitude clearance only

Explanation:

Vertical separation is the primary method to resolve a conflict with Special Use Airspace like a MOA during approach. When an aircraft on JAN approach would pass through the MEI 1 West MOA, the quickest and most effective action is to issue a new altitude clearance so the aircraft remains vertically separated from the MOA’s activity. This fixes the conflict without needing to reroute the entire approach or delay handoffs, and it keeps the aircraft on its published procedure with minimal disruption. Do nothing would leave the conflict unresolved, and handing off immediately or trying to coordinate without applying an altitude change doesn’t directly remove the risk.
