Which statement is true about operations within a Prohibited Area?

Which statement is true about operations within a Prohibited Area?

• A. VFR is allowed with restrictions
• B. Neither VFR nor IFR are allowed
• C. IFR is allowed with permission
• D. Both VFR and IFR are allowed during daylight

Answer: (B)

Prohibited Areas are airspace where flight is not allowed. They’re designated to protect national security or safety, and access is restricted unless explicit, case-by-case authorization is granted by the controlling authority. Because the default rule is that no operations are permitted, neither VFR nor IFR are allowed within the area. The other statements imply some level of access, which contradicts the fundamental rule of prohibiting flight.
