VISUAL FLIGHT RULES
6-5 MAXIMUM AIRSPEEDS
a. AIRCRAFT SPEED BELOW 10,000 FEET Mean Sea Level - (Exemption to Federal Air Regulations 91.117 issued to DoD, May 18, 1978) - Operations below 10,000 feet Mean Sea Level at an Indicated Air Speed in excess of 250 knots, in noncompliance with Federal Air Regulations 91.117(a), are authorized for military aircraft, include Reserve and Air National Guard components, only under the following conditions:
(1)
Within restricted areas.
(2)
Within military operations areas.
(3)
When operating within large scale exer or on short term special mission. Coord will be effected to insure awareness on the part of the nonparticipating flying public.
(4)
When operating on DoD/Federal Aviation Administration mutually developed and published IFR routes. The military necessity for each route and for the extent of use of each route is to be reviewed and approved by the appropriate military headquarters.
(5)
When operating on DoD developed and published VFR routes. Such routes shall be established for specific mission and used only by designated units when the provisions of the above will not accommodate the required national defense mission as determined by appropriate military headquarters. Routes are to be developed and published in accordance with DoD/Federal Aviation Administration mutually developed criteria.
(6)
In the event provisions of the above cannot be complied with, the appropriate military headquarters may authorize flight Operations within defined airspace in noncompliance with Federal Air Regulations 91.117 as it considers necessary to accomplish the national defense mission. This provision is intended to accommodate speed requirements on an interim basis within a defined area for which an area/route proposal has been coordinated and concurred in by appropriate military/Federal Aviation Administration regional authority but not yet published.
(7)
If the airspeed required or recommended in the airplane flight manual to maintain safe maneuverability is greater than the maximum speed described in Federal Air Regulations 91.117, the aircraft may be operated at that speed. Where the required or recommended speed is given as range, the lower part of the speed range should be used consistent with good operating practice. This provision is primarily to accommodate climbs/descents and terminal area Operations. (See AFI 11-202 Vol 3 or OPNAV Instruction 3710.7 (series), as applicable).
b. AFTERBURNER CLIMBS - Pilots of turbojet aircraft equipped with afterburner engines should advise Air Traffic Control prior to take-off if they intend to use afterburner during their climb to the Enroute Altitude. Anytime while enroute, a pilot elects to use afterburner to climb to a newly assigned altitude he should so advise the Air Traffic Control controller.
INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES
6-6 RVSM RULES
a. REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUM (RVSM) (AFFSA/XOP, FAA 91-RVSM)
(1)
RVSM is a program intended to safely increase airspace capacity and provide economic benefits by reducing vertical separation from 2000’ to 1000’ between suitably equipped aircraft. This program is supported by the United States and other ICAO members. Introduction of RVSM began on 27 March 1997 in North Atlantic Track Minimum Navigation Performance Specifications (NAT MNPS) airspace. RVSM airspace is exclusive airspace unless accommodation procedures have been adopted. See Area Planning guidance for regional specific information on accommodations of non-RVSM equipped aircraft.
(2)
RVSM operations require specific approval and equipment. All operators must maintain the specified operating standards and be aware of the inherent obligation of this requirement.
(3)
Non-equipped aircraft may be allowed climbs and descents through the RVSM block, traffic permitting. Flights should climb/descend continuously through the RVSM levels without stopping at any intermediate level and should “Report leaving” current level and “Report reaching” cleared level.
