For restricted category civil aircraft, flight over densely populated areas is:

• A. Normally prohibited.
• B. Allowed with standard authorization.
• C. Allowed at any altitude.
• D. Allowed during daylight only.

Answer: (A)

In restricted-category operations, safety rules are intentionally tighter because these aircraft carry limitations that reduce ground risk. Flying over densely populated areas is normally prohibited to minimize the consequence if something goes wrong during flight. To overfly such areas, you’d need explicit, case-by-case authorization under the terms of the special airworthiness certificate (Restricted) and its operating limitations—not a generic or standard permit. That’s why this statement is the best answer. The other options don’t fit because there isn’t a blanket allowance based on altitude or daylight, and there isn’t a standard authorization that automatically permits overflight.
