| 1639 | 1651 | #### Explanation |

| 1640 | 1652 | |

| 1641 | | -The correct answer is B because the EMMEN TMA lower boundary between Cham and Hitzkirch is at 3500 ft AMSL. Below this altitude, you remain in uncontrolled airspace and no clearance is needed. Above 3500 ft AMSL, you enter the TMA and must obtain an ATC clearance. |
|---|
| 1653 | +The Cham–Hitzkirch route crosses TMA sector 1 of the Emmen TMA. TMA 1 has its lower limit at **2400 ft AMSL**. Below this altitude you fly in uncontrolled airspace without clearance. Above it, you need ATC authorisation. |

| 1642 | 1654 | |
|---|
| 1643 | | -- **Option A** (2400 ft) is too low and does not correspond to the published limit. |
|---|
| 1644 | | -- **Option C** (2000 ft GND) references above ground level, which is not how this TMA boundary is expressed. |
|---|
| 1645 | | -- **Option D** (5000 ft) is too high. |
|---|
| 1655 | +The TMA sectors step up in altitude as you move away from the airfield: CTR at GND, TMA 1 at 2400 ft, TMA 3 at 3500 ft, TMA 5 at 4500 ft, etc. The sector numbers and their boundaries are shown on the ICAO chart, but the altitude limits are published in the AIP (ENR 2.1). |

| 1647 | | -#### Key Terms |
|---|
| 1657 | +- **B** (3500 ft) is the lower limit of TMA 3, not TMA 1. TMA 3 is further from Emmen. |
|---|
| 1658 | +- **C** (2000 ft GND) references above ground level, which is not how TMA boundaries are expressed. |
|---|
| 1659 | +- **D** (5000 ft) does not correspond to any TMA sector lower limit. |
|---|
| 1648 | 1660 | |
|---|
| 1649 | | -- **AMSL** = Above Mean Sea Level |
|---|
| 1650 | | -- **ATC** = Air Traffic Control |
|---|
| 1651 | | -- **TMA** = Terminal Manoeuvring Area |
