No, they guard that stuff like it belongs only to them.







More drivel.



Rather than just making such a cavalier statement, why not be positive
and point us pions to the public source for MIA charts.


I have no idea if there is a website with all the data. I have
occasionally come across various MVA or MIA maps online. But nobody
guards it as it isn't sensitive. Stop by any facility and they'll make a
copy for you.

There is no web site with MIA data. I had to make a Freedom of
Information Act request to get MIA data for a couple centers. The group I
work with had the same problem with MVAs, but got those loosened up.

What you are saying is true, but it means stopping by the facility with
one's hat in their hand. That does not help the OP at all.

There's a lot of stuff that's not on the web. So what? Not everything
justifies the time, energy, money, and bandwidth needed to put it on the
web.

Then there's the issue of keeping it current. MVAs and MIAs, along with
LOAs, SOPs, and a myriad of other pieces of paper (or computer files) are
internal facility documents that change, require review at periodic
intervals, or simply get cancelled. What happens when some stick actuator
reads (or mis-reads) the outdated MVA chart he pulled off the web and flies
into the new cell phone transmission tower?

MVAs and MIAs aren't classified. They're probably not even FOUO. But just
because they're not on the web or in your local library branch doesn't mean
there's some evil conspiracy to keep them from the public.

All you have to do is ask.
