True statement: MOAs are established outside Class A airspace. Which option is correct?

• A. Inside Class A
• B. Outside Class A
• C. Inside Class B
• D. Inside Class C

Answer: (B)

MOAs exist to separate military training activities from IFR traffic, so they’re created in airspace outside Class A. Class A starts at 18,000 feet MSL and extends upward, and IFR separation is the primary concern there. Because MOAs are not within Class A, they’re designated in other airspace classes (often E) and may be active or inactive. If you’re IFR, you’ll need ATC clearance to enter an MOA; if you’re VFR, you can operate there at your own risk and should check current NOTAMs for activity. This is why the correct statement is that MOAs are established outside Class A airspace.
