Is it permissible to fly through a MOA?

In the context of flying through a Military Operations Area (MOA), it is permissible under certain conditions, one of which is if the MOA is not active. MOAs are designed to separate military training activities from civilian air traffic, but they don’t prohibit civilian aircraft from entering these airspaces when they are not in use.

If a MOA is active, pilots are expected to avoid flying through it, but if they are aware that it is inactive, they can safely navigate through the airspace. This understanding highlights the importance of situational awareness and communication with air traffic control to determine the current status of a MOA before flying through it.

This provides a framework for how pilots can operate around MOAs, allowing for flexibility under the right circumstances, particularly when coordination or notification of an inactive status has been established.
