IFR Altitudes Defined: MEA, MOCA, MRA, MCA, MAA, OROCA, GPS MEA - IFR Pilot & Instrument Test Prep

- This video examines all the different IFR altitudes: MEA, GPS MEA, MOCA, MRA, MCA, OROCA, and MAA. I explain the definition for each of these altitudes and provide examples for each as shown on FAA-published charts (not Jeppesen). This video should prove especially helpful for IFR practical test prep, oral test prep, and it's also a good review for dispatchers!
Check out my other videos especially the ones about how instruments and navigational aids work. I also have help videos for passing the instrument pilot knowledge exam

Always remember that Laura, when you get right down to it, is just a pilot and a dispatcher. She is explaining facts from the source materials but may be incorrect or out of date. You should always follow your primary guidance (Aircraft manuals, government regulations, etc.) before listening to anything from this RUclips channel. These videos are intended for educational purposes only.
Spirit of excellence, just what I’m needing. Love the charts included during the instructions. Thank you your amazing, I’ll be digging for all your IFR videos.
Stay tuned, I have some more ideas hopefully coming out soon like a "Do I need an Alternate" game with weather interpretation...
Laura, thanks for taking the time to make these videos. My CFII checkride scheduled for tomorrow and they are no doubt helping me brush up. I remember mountainous and non-mountainous terrain locations can also be found in 14 CFR part 95 subpart B. Thanks again! -Class of ‘16
Hey Lance! You are right! It is also listed there - thank you for your kind words. Congratulations on the CFII checkride - hoping it goes well!!! Reach out to me directly if you want to hear about our job opportunities at LETU.
@@LauraLaster747 Thank you! The checkride went well, now on to helo. Will do! I definitely enjoy teaching.
@@lancemeier8351That's awesome! Congratulations!
Never hurts to clear this up sometimes
I am glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching!
Is it possible to clarify the acn/pcn method
Hello, I will add it to the list of possible future topics! Thanks for watching!
Hello,
At 2:40 you mentioned that no ATC reception is guaranteed but I don’t think that ATC considered as NAVAID. If you can clarify please, that will be great because I’m still trying to understand why we have that GPS MOCA (blue MOCA) on some IFR charts if we are actually using GPS and not NAVAIDS (such as VOR).
You are correct that ATC is not a navaid. If you fly at the MOCA, you may or may not be able to talk with ATC. That’s why flying at the MOCA is not assigned by ATC, but it’s at least a safe altitude you can use IF you can’t maintain the MEA. Does that help?
Oh I do wish you would have included MIA, MVA, and MSA as well.
There were enough acronyms floating around that I had to stop for everyone's sanity...
