In a Restricted Area, which operations are allowed?

• A. VFR operations
• B. IFR operations
• C. Neither allowed
• D. Both VFR and IFR allowed

Answer: (C)

Restricted areas are airspace segments where activities pose hazards to non-participating aircraft, so entry and flight there are not allowed unless you have explicit authorization from the agency that uses the area. Because the question assumes no such clearance, neither VFR nor IFR operations are permitted. If authorization is granted, operations may be allowed under the terms set by the controlling agency, which could apply to either flight rule, but without that permission, there is no allowed operation in the restricted area.
