Mt Dora West High and Low MOA (Denver/Albuquerque border) · Denver Sectional, 3 Sep 2026 – 29 Oct 2026 · Denver.pdf (FAA current sectional, not redistributed), p. 1 · Not for navigation
Refer to the current Denver sectional excerpt showing the Mt Dora West High and Low Military Operations Area (MOA). According to the chart, how can a pilot find out whether this MOA is currently active?
Why: The chart prints a note box directly on the Mt Dora West High and Low MOA boundary: "CTC ALBUQUERQUE CNTR ON 132.8 OR 346.35 FOR MOA STATUS." MOAs are not always active, so a pilot planning to fly in or near one is expected to contact the controlling agency named on the chart to check current status before relying on the airspace being clear.
MOAs are active only during published or announced times, not continuously — the chart's own note directs pilots to check status by contacting ATC, not to assume the area is always hot.
Invents a printed activation schedule; this chart's own note directs pilots to a real-time radio contact for current MOA status, not to a static published schedule.
