Answer 2

JAX C Discrete: CH16

JAX Center: CH17

MOA Common: CH15

East: 11,700

West: 11,200

Question 4

Dynamic Manuevers shall be planned for completion between ___?

Answer 4

12,500’ - 17,500’

Question 5

North MOA Entry Procedure VFR

Answer 5

• File NSE 2 stereo route
  
  • use appropriate departure headings
  • Expect to climb and maintain 4500’ MSL and expect higher (10,000’)
• At or below 10,000’ MSL, TRACON will direct aircraft to contact JAX center on CH16
  
  • “JAX center, BBXXX, request (block)”

Caution: If comms is delayed to JAX Center for clearance into NMOA while VFR, a/c should maintain last assigned heading and altitude until intercepting the NE line that divides B and C Blocks. Fly NE along the line and make an advisory call on CH12. Once in contact with JAX Center make request and continue

• Once cleared into NMOA by JAX, climb to appropriate transition altitude
• Proceed to lateral confines of assigned block, climb to block working altitudes and switch to NMOA Common CH15

Question 6

NMOA Exit Procedures

Answer 6

• “JAX center, BBXXX, request random descent VFR”
• JC: “BBXXX, roger, report leaving 12,000’ MSL’
• Pilot: “JAX center, BBXXX, leaving 12,000’ MSL”
• JC: “BBXXX, squawk 1200, frequency change approved”
• Transit in in the high transition layer and monitor appropriate freq
• May depart laterally, through unused pelican block, or 1B and 4C

Question 7

Pelican Block Altitudes

Answer 7

• 6000 - 11000’ MSL

Question 8

Pelican Transition Block

Answer 8

• East: 5700’ MSL
• West: 5200’ MSL

Question 9

Pelican Frequencies

Answer 9

• Pelican and Fox Common: CH12
• Evergreen: CH14
• Brewton: CH13
• Bay Minette: CH27
• Monroeville: 123.0 CTAF
• Area 2T: CH 12

Question 10

Pelican Entry and Exit Procedure

Answer 10

• Enter and Exit via the transition layer
• Transit along block borders and make traffic calls on the common before transversing the borders
• Radio calls
  
  • “Anyone working 3A?”
  • “BBXXX established 3A”
  • “BBXXX transiting 1B/2B at 7500’ MSL”

Warning: If more than one block is needed avoid using a B and C together

When exiting a Pelican block an advisory call may be made but is not required

Question 11

South MOA and ATCAA Block Altitude

Answer 11

11,000’ - FL230

• A/c operating in Gator Area shall use the local altimeter setting
• When below 29.92, 22,000’ MSL is the highest useable working altitude

Question 12

South MOA Transition Block

Answer 12

East: 9,500’ MSL—-> shall transit along block lines or the clear the applicable Wahoo blocks

West: 10,500’ MSL

Question 13

South MOA Gator Frequencies

Answer 13

• Pensacola Approach: CH28
• South MOA Common: CH29

Question 14

Gator VFR Entry

Answer 14

• NSE 4/5 from KNSE
• Local Altimeter
• PNS App will transition a/c to/from assigned blocks and issue GATOR clearance
• Gator clearance authorizes:
  
  • Climb/Descend from assigned alt only once established in the lateral confines of the assigned working block
  • Stay below 11,000’ MSL until in working block
• Monitor CH29 while in Gator Block

Question 15

Gator Area VFR Exit

Answer 15

• Contact PNS App: CH28
  
  • “Pensacola APP, BBXXX, complete in block ___, cancel radar advisories”
• Remain within assigned block until given instruction by PNS App (MOA Monitor)
• Aircraft requesting VFR flight following after departing GATOR will do so 10 min prior to departure
• Aircraft desiring to transit at altitudes other than those listed above should do so at an appropriate altitude in accordance with VFR semi-circular rules and may transit through unused Wahoo blocks or along Wahoo border lines
• Continue to monitor on CH29
• Make traffic call to Wahoo Common CH8 if transiting unused Wahoo blocks or along block lines
• A/C transiting east shall transit along block lines at 9,500’ or clear the applicable Wahoo blocks

Question 16

Wahoo Working Area Block Altitudes

Answer 16

6,000’ - 9,500’ MSL

Question 18

Area 1 Working Block Altitudes

Answer 18

SFC - 6,000’ MSL

Question 19
