What is the appropriate action when crossing an active MTR at an altitude with minimal risk?

• A. Increase speed to exit quickly.
• B. Descend to be below MTR altitude.
• C. Request immediate military escort.
• D. Exercise caution, maintain separation from military traffic, and comply with ATC instructions as required.

Answer: (D)

When crossing an active Military Training Route, the priority is to stay aware of military traffic and follow ATC guidance. MTRs are used for military training and can involve fast-moving aircraft that may appear unexpectedly, even if your crossing altitude seems low-risk. The safest approach is to exercise caution, keep clear of any military traffic, and be ready to adjust your plan to comply with ATC instructions as needed. This keeps you coordinated with air traffic and minimizes risk to both you and the military operations. Other options don’t fit because increasing speed to exit quickly doesn't guarantee safety and can reduce your ability to see and avoid traffic or follow ATC. Descending to be below the MTR altitude is not inherently required and could place you in more hazardous airspace or violate ATC flow. Requesting immediate military escort is not a standard or appropriate action for a routine crossing. The correct approach is to stay vigilant, maintain separation from military traffic, and comply with ATC instructions.
