Minute of Angle. Angular unit of measure used to describe the accuracy potential of rifles, ammunition, bullets or loads. One MOA equals 1/60th of a degree ( 21 600 minutes in a circle ) and subtends 1.047 inches at 100 yards, or, for practical purposes, 1" at 100 yards

Minute Of Angle. Angular unit of measurement used to describe the Accuracy. One MOA equals 1/60th of a degree (21,600 minutes in a complete revolution) and subtends 1.0473 inches at 100 yards, or, as a rule of thumb, 1 inch at 100 yards. 1 Mil contains 3.44 MOA. MOA See Minute Of Angle.

Minute of angle. A unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of a degree, which fortuitously subtends 1 inch (actually 1.047") at 100 yards, 2 inches at 200 yards, and so forth.

Minute of Angle. The arc subtended by an angle of one minute (1/60th of a degree) at any range, usually 100 yards. A minute of angle at 100 yards is 1.0471680" - This is called a TRUE minute of angle. Since 1.0471680" is so close to one inch that for all practical purposes it is considered an inch many people just use one inch as the value at 100 yeards - this makes calculations easier and is called a SHOOTER'S minute of angle.

Minute of Angle. The radial distance represented by 1/60 of a degree (there being 360 degrees in the circumference of a circle). The MOA is used in target shooting as a handy reference of accuracy and for sight adjustment. At a range of 100 yards 1 MOA represents a distance of 1.0472 inches (or approximately 1 inch). Sights are normally calibrated in fractions of a minute, a typical .22 target rifle with aperture sights will have 1/8 minute adjustments i.e. at 100 yards range, 1 click (see above) of the sight will move the point of impact 1/8 inch. General purpose telescopic sights normally have 1/4 minute adjustments.

Mining Operation Agreement

Military Operations Area. Airspace established outside Class A airspace to separate or segregate certain non-hazerdous military activities from IFR Traffic and to identify for VFR traffic where these activities are conducted. i.e. It looks like this on a sectional.

Military Operations Area. Military Operations Area found on aeronautical charts.

Memoranda of Agreement An agreement between the Environmental Protection Agency and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in which the EPA promised not to plan or anticipate any federal action against an owner, operator, generator or transporter.

Airspace, depicted on navigational charts, in which military flight operations (training and practice combat) are conducted. May be transited by VFR civilian traffic, but special vigilance is recommended. (See also Restricted Area)
