How do you verify the status of a CFA before flying?

• A. CFAs are only active when published and may be suspended when not needed.
• B. CFAs are always active and do not require verification.
• C. CFAs status is determined after takeoff.
• D. CFAs are only relevant to military pilots.

Answer: (A)

CFAs are Dynamic airspace areas that only exist when they are officially published as active. They may be suspended when not needed, so you can’t assume they’re in effect. To verify before flight, check current official publications such as NOTAMs and the aeronautical information that lists CFA status, or consult FSS/ATC for the latest status. If a CFA is published as active, plan accordingly; if not published, treat the area as not active.
