Special use airspace includes military operations areas, prohibited areas, alert areas, warning areas, restricted areas and controlled firing areas. This week’s video tip explains how to identify their location and best practices for making sure you don’t accidentally fly into one.
This video tip is from the Sporty’s Learn to Fly Course, which includes complete training for Private and Sport Pilots.
