MAA stands for?

• A. Minimum Authorized Altitude
• B. Maximum Altitude Allocation
• C. Maximum Authorized Altitude
• D. Military Aircraft Altitude Limit

Answer: (C)

Maximum Authorized Altitude is the highest altitude on a given route segment at which obstacle clearance is guaranteed for that airway. Staying at or below this altitude keeps you within the protected path defined by the navigation chart; climbing above it means obstacle clearance can no longer be guaranteed, so you’d need to use a different route or altitude to ensure safety. The other terms aren’t standard civil-aviation designations for airway limits, which is why this option is the correct one.
