With Complete Solutions
/. What is the range on En route high altitude charts? - Answer-✅FL180-FL450
/.What is an MSA? - Answer-✅1,000ft obstacle clearance. For emergency use; Based
on NAVAID / Waypoint (RNAV), Airport waypoint (circling); In MSL, 25-30nm radius
provides 1,000ft obstacle clearance but does not guarantee signal coverage
/.Who is responsible for obstacle clearance? - Answer-✅PIC or ATC if being vectored
