Unfortunately, if you plan to go from one urban area to another, you see a lot of them. And out in the western U.S. at least, it seems like most of the land is covered by restricted areas or MOAs. give an example of where that would be a problem. MOAs are no biggy; you talk to the nice controller just to be on the safe side --- you don't even have to, but it's good form unless you like surprises -- and you are set. When there are a bunch of controlled airspace close together, your best bet is either to fly above them if you don't want to talk to anybody, or better yet talk to the nice controller and once again, you are set. When flying IFR it's even simpler (since the whole idea of these complicated controlled airspace is precisely to make the life of IFR folks simpler); I fly mostly around San Francisco Bay Area where airspace is a tad complex, and it's not really a problem; same thing when flying near LA; talk to the nice controllers, follow the rules, piece of cake; Restricted airspace might or might not be a problem; again, talk to the nice controller and ask nicely; I have flown right smack overhead Edwards AFB a few times to take a short cut to/from Las Vegas (I never tried to ask about flying through the restricted airspaces north of Las Vegas though, not all R- areas being created equal :-) ) again this is something that looks a lot more complicated from afar than it actually becomes when you get a chance of doing it for real, --Sylvain |
