What is the minimum radar altitude at the point 15 DME from the VOR on a magnetic bearing of 240°?

  • A

    3000 ft

  • B

    6000 ft

  • C

    5000 ft

  • D

    4000 ft

Refer to figure.
The chart depicts the Radar Minimum Altitudes or Minimum Radar Vectoring Altitudes (MRVA) or Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA) or ATC Surveillance Minimum Altitude (ASMA). It is the lowest altitude, expressed in feet AMSL, to which a radar controller may issue aircraft altitude clearances during radar vectoring and meets obstacle clearance requirements in the airspace specified.

On this chart, you can see different sectors (areas of application of a minimum vectoring altitude) and their corresponding minimum radar altitudes.

For this question, locate the 15-DME circle around the DBV VOR, then follow the 240° radial outward to the 15-DME point. This point falls within the area marked with the 3000 ft contour, meaning the minimum radar altitude there is 3000 ft.
