I recently moved from Florida close to the Manassas Airport (KHEF). I had to go through the DC SFRA training and have flown through the FLUKY gate many times now. I will admit, it was intimidating at first because you have to submit flight plans and make sure that you have the proper squak and hop between ATC and Approach controllers but it's really good practice. It feels a bit unique so I recommend every pilot try it out sometime! As always, great video Jason, and see you in Florida!
Disneyland California. I love your videos, very informative. Your positive attitude is a blessing, it just makes me feel good when I watch your videos which is a bonus.
Great video! Passed my CMEL Initial Checkride a few weeks back...Thank you MZeroA ground school! And....the controlled firing area N of Ocala was on my oral!
Question about MOA beginning at 500' AGL and "Radar not Available". I'm planning a VFR flight from my home airport KMFR to 62S (Christmas Valley) - and then on to KGCD (Grant County). However, about 6 nm East of 62S I would enter Juniper Low MOA (500' AGL - 10,999' AGL) if I fly directly to KGCD. That MOA is often active. Due to terrain I'll likely cruise at 7,500' MSL. I am considering 62S to BREWW to KGCD as a way to avoid the MOA, but on the aerial chart is a large area of hash marks and the words "Radar not Available" (turn ON the radar layer on Foreflight). Is that only for weather reporting or will it also not allow me to be visible to ATC for flight following? The intended course of flight is over a pretty desolate "no man's land" area of the Oregon high desert - I want flight following for sure. Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.
could say they are an accident waiting to happen with seagull wing doors ones that open up like bird wings latches come lose during flight door opens all the way yeah one of those
can see it now 2-3 Mic Zulu have the solo permit in a 162 Cessna looking at this big paper map door fly's open shit hits the fan map is blocking vison is worse than useless and what else could go wrong spatial disorientation that is how accidents happen
then they don't include a electronic flight bag they sell a kit with map ruler whiz wheel old style navigation that's fine for those who want a kit learn how to fly 162 in complicated airspace You taught Us better than that kits are for fun and backup $25 grand and no e.f.b. never even mentioned one
the whole world is a complicated area to fly in and out of 2-3 Mic Zulu check this out do have a plane in mind owners don't want it anymore matter of fact they might sell the whole school here is the deal Cessna 162 Skycatcher $25k thinking can't do that even for a 162 they say can fly for 3 hours that is no go 2 1/2 if topped off for cross country flight bad pilots are always thinking good ones are always learning
You always have great content. Have you covered MOA airspace in any of your videos? I just moved from a State that had none... to a State that has tons of them. I understand that FAA will be posting NOTAMS for those spaces at some point and should be able to get current info on Foreflight. But, until then.... I'd love to hear your take and recommendations on transitioning though them. I'm in SC and want to fly to a friend's in Pensacola and there are so many MOA's and Restricted ares, I'm a little nervous about flying down there.
Great video! We're from Dayton, Ohio area and was looking to fly to the panhandle of Florida, more specifically the area around Pensacola and Destin. Lots going on in that area!
I am working towards my PPL now at KTLH. Gas is not the cheapest but the million air here is really nice. You will certainly run into some wildlife areas out here. I’m still blown away at the size of some of the birds you’ll see at 4k agl
There is "Special Military Activity" if you go from KSBA to L88. NO ONE has given me an answer if I can fly through that or not. That includes a tower controller and a fighter pilot. If anyone knows the answer and can back it up with FAA proof, please let me know.
Check out the various Farallones sea animal sanctuary chart makings along the California coast. Administered by NOAA not the FAA. The rules are strict and no way pilot friendly.
Most interesting symbol I’ve seen on VFR charts: next to Beale AFB (BAB) there’s a big blue star, noting where the USAF PAWS Radar is, as it’s hazardous to nearby aircraft
Always love the videos Jason. On the topic of airspace gotchas, KFNL north of Denver, CO is a fun one. A small airport in class E airspace that has a remote tower. At first glance it looks like your average airport in class E airspace and has caused quite a few misunderstandings.
Check out Oakland (KOAK) for another “T” airspace. My understanding is it’s noted when the overlying airspace starts at multiple altitudes, so the top of the Charlie is a different altitude depending where you are in the area
Great tips! And FYI, I passed my checkride a couple weeks back, and I credit you and your videos for making it much less daunting. Thank you!

Here’s a neat one for you, Jason. It’s in Alaska. It’s a picture of a walrus on a sectional chart. Looks southwest of airport identifier PATG.

Grand Canyon Special Rules - Interesting Video by itself. Almost did the training but ran out of time

What about the airspace just off the coast outside of KMYR?
There is "Special Military Activity" if you go from KSBA to L88. NO ONE has given me an answer if I can fly through that or not. That includes a tower controller and a fighter pilot. If anyone knows the answer and can back it up with FAA proof, please let me know.
Thank you can you help me

I know of 2 wildlife refuge areas, 3000’+ requested altitude. One in central CA, Pinnacles National Park, and one to the East of KSBP in S Cal.

I did all of my flight training and fly out of KGAI- the best way to build radio skills early in your flying career!
Not all the special rules area have these requirements. The lax special ares is much different…
Very informative. Thank you
