Which statement about Restricted Areas is accurate?

Restricted Areas are designated airspace where certain restrictions are in place due to the nature of activities performed in that area, which often includes military exercises or other sensitive activities. The accurate statement recognizes that while these areas are restricted, there are provisions for aircraft operations when the area is not in active use.

When the Restricted Area is not being utilized for its intended purpose, both Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Visual Flight Rules (VFR) operations can be authorized, provided that pilots receive the necessary permissions and are aware of the conditions. This indicates that there is flexibility and situational awareness involved in operating in or around these areas.

In contrast, stating that no aircraft may enter under any circumstances would overlook the allowance for flights when the area is inactive. Claiming that all operations must be conducted under IFR ignores the possibility of VFR operations being permitted when it is safe and authorized. Furthermore, implying that the area is solely for military use does not account for the shared nature of airspace and the potential civilian access granted under specific conditions.
