| When may an aircraft be cleared below the MOCA? | Never |
| What two actions must be taken when clearing aircraft below the MEA while applying radar procedures? | Provide radar vectors until the aircraft is within 22 NM of the NAVAID and issue lost communications instructions. |
| Separate departing aircraft that will fly the same course when the following aircraft will climb through the altitude of the preceding aircraft's assigned altitude by what minimums until the aircraft behind is clear? | 3 minutes or 5 miles |
| At a nonapproach control tower, what minima may be used to separate a departure from an arrival? | The departure can takeoff within 3 minutes of the arrival's ETA provided the departure's takeoff differs at least 45 degree reciprocal of the arrival (yeah right) |
