Which statement is true about collision avoidance in an Alert Area?

• A. All pilots are responsible
• B. The FAA is responsible
• C. Only IFR pilots are responsible
• D. Only VFR pilots are responsible

Answer: (A)

Collision avoidance in an Alert Area is a shared duty for all pilots. An Alert Area warns of a higher volume of training or unusual activity, but it’s not restricted airspace and does not assign any special permission or responsibility to a particular group. ATC may not provide continuous separation services for every aircraft in these areas, so the duty to see-and-avoid rests with every pilot, whether flying under IFR or VFR. This is why the best choice is that all pilots are responsible. The other statements aren’t accurate because the FAA doesn’t assume collision-avoidance responsibility to a single group, and it isn’t limited to only IFR or only VFR pilots.
