Figure 23 labels an area "BULLDOG C MOA" with the note "EXCLUDES AIRSPACE 1500' AGL AND BELOW." What does this mean for a small UA flown at 300 feet AGL within the charted MOA boundary?
Why: The note means military training activity in Bulldog C MOA only occurs above 1,500 feet AGL — that altitude and below is excluded from the MOA, not included in it — so a small UA operating at 300 feet AGL within the lateral boundary is below the MOA's floor and not actually inside the designated airspace.
Ignores the stated exclusion; the note specifically removes 1,500 feet AGL and below from the MOA, so an operation at 300 feet AGL is not inside the designated airspace.
Misreads "excludes airspace 1500' AGL and below" as describing a ceiling rather than a floor — the note excludes everything at or below 1,500 feet AGL, meaning 1,500 feet AGL is the MOA's lower limit, not its upper limit.
