Question 1

What does the acronym MEA stand for on an IFR en-route chart, and what guarantees does it provide?

Minimum En-route Altitude; guarantees terrain clearance and continuous navigation signal reception along the airway Minimum Obstacle Altitude; guarantees terrain clearance only within 22 NM of a VOR station Maximum En-route Altitude; defines the highest operational altitude authorized for IFR flight Minimum Emergency Altitude; provides obstacle clearance in controlled airspace during radar failure

Correct Answer:

Minimum En-route Altitude; guarantees terrain clearance and continuous navigation signal reception along the airway

Question 2

What is the key difference between MOCA and MEA on an IFR en-route chart?

MOCA guarantees obstacle clearance along the route but navigational signal coverage only within 22 NM of a VOR MEA guarantees obstacle clearance only within 10 NM of the airway centerline MOCA guarantees communication signal coverage but no obstacle clearance MEA applies only to jet routes above FL150, whereas MOCA applies below

Correct Answer:

MOCA guarantees obstacle clearance along the route but navigational signal coverage only within 22 NM of a VOR

Question 3

What does MRA (Minimum Reception Altitude) designate on an IFR chart?

The lowest altitude at which an intersection can be identified using off-course VOR radials The minimum altitude required for primary radar tracking by ATC The lowest altitude at which two-way VHF voice communication is guaranteed The altitude at which Marker Beacons become audible

Correct Answer:

The lowest altitude at which an intersection can be identified using off-course VOR radials

Question 4

Standard Minimum Sector Altitudes (MSA) published on instrument approach plates provide what obstacle clearance?

1,000 feet clearance within a 25 NM radius of the navigation facility 2,000 feet clearance within a 10 NM radius of the airport reference point 500 feet clearance within a 15 NM radius of the runway threshold 1,500 feet clearance within 25 NM in non-mountainous terrain only

Correct Answer:

1,000 feet clearance within a 25 NM radius of the navigation facility

Question 5

What is a Terminal Arrival Altitude (TAA) in PBN / RNP approach design?

The lowest altitude providing 1,000 ft obstacle clearance within a specified 25 NM sector centered on an IAF/IF The altitude at which an aircraft must transition from en-route cruise to descent on a STAR The minimum altitude at which an aircraft can enter a holding pattern at the destination The maximum altitude authorized for radar vectoring in the terminal area

Correct Answer:

The lowest altitude providing 1,000 ft obstacle clearance within a specified 25 NM sector centered on an IAF/IF
