Which statement is correct with regard to “advisory airspace”?

  1. AA transient aircraft entering active advisory airspace shall be equipped with a serviceable transponder.
  2. BNon-participating VFR aircraft are encouraged to avoid flight in advisory airspace during active periods specified on aeronautical charts and NOTAM.Correct answer
  3. CAircraft need to be equipped with a two-way radio to enter active advisory airspace.
  4. DOnly military aircraft may enter advisory airspace depicted on aeronautical charts.

Why this is the answer

Class F advisory (CYA) airspace is uncontrolled, so non-participating VFR aircraft are encouraged — not required — to avoid it during the active periods shown on charts and by NOTAM (TC AIM-RAC, Class F). It carries no mandatory transponder, radio, or military-only restriction.
