Answer 1

The correct answer for an air taxi operation conducted under night VFR in uncontrolled airspace is to comply with both a MOCA of 1000 feet above obstacles within 3 miles and an MEA that assures signal coverage.

Step-by-step explanation:

For an air taxi operation to be conducted under night VFR on company routes in uncontrolled airspace, it must comply with specific safety regulations regarding minimum obstacle clearance. The correct compliance regulations would be the following:

• the MOCA must be 1000 feet above the highest obstacle within 3 miles of the centerline of the route, and
• an MEA must be used which assures signal coverage.

Therefore, the answer to the student's question is d) both b) and c). This ensures safe operation by maintaining both obstacle clearance and navigation signal reception during the flight.
