Q: How to get information on restricted airspace?
Is there a web site that you can enter the airspace number and get the information that would be on the side of the sectional chart about the airspace?
Example: 'R-5314'
I would like to see who controls it, the alt., and time information about the restriction.

But you only get info on the airspace. I would like a site that I could check out a number of airspaces that I will cross on a trip.
Thanks, Kent

...works for me.
Just tell it where you are going and it presents a map with restricted airspace relative to your proposed route. Put the mouse over the shaded area and it comes up with the details of the airspace.

It didn't have R-2915A, R-4006 and R-5314 listed.
I was just reading more on the first page of the web site and I think that I understand. The ones that are not in the list are because they are currently not active.

Flight following..
I was deviating the other day due to wx and the controller told me he had to let me know if I was going to get into a hot restricted area. He made it sound as if he would get in hot water if he let me violate the airspace without warning me first. Just another good reason to use flight following.

...area is HOT, then ATC is usually not the controlling agency and he can't clear you into it.
Are you sure he wasn't talking about a MOA? - they would have to warn you about entering, but it is permissible to enter VFR...

I'm guessing he wasn't cleared by FF...but simply warned not to enter. (And that the controller would get in trouble if he didn't warn prior to a bust?)

Where are you going to/from?
2915A and the corridors down there are not cosmic, however the airspace is very congested with Destin traffic as every ******* with an airplane wants to go to the beach. Eyes out! Contact Eglin Appch if you're VFR and just let them know where you want to go. If you're coming from the North enter south of CEW and proceed to White Point, then to DTS. Keep it above 3K' until you're entering the traffic pattern at DTS and you'll be sure to keep yourself above the Class D, as well as military arrival traffic (VFR) to Eglin.
Speaking from a military perspective, do yourself a favor (from a safety stand point) and avoid MOA's to the max extent possible, especially during the week days. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Restricted areas are just that, restricted. Don't bother calling ahead of time to the schduling authority because we generally aren't going to tell you if they're active. Look on your sectional, figure out who the controlling agency is (usually a center) and call them airborn to ask for status and a transit if you're really hard up about rolling through. If it's cold you can usually get through, if it's hot don't bother asking.
