AOM-0810 — Integration into the TMA route structure of optimised Low Level IFR route network for rotorcraft using RNP-1/RNP-0.3
In controlled airspace (TMA) Rotorcraft low altitude RNP-1/RNP-0.3 IFR routes are strategically separated from conventional SIDs / STARs. The routes enhance flight safety and weather resilience of Rotorcraft operations. Even in controlled airspace, moving from VFR to IFR enhances flight safety when weather conditions are adverse.
- Rationale
- Provision of the IFR routes in controlled airspace removes interference between rotorcraft and commercial traffic. The integration of an optimised Low Level IFR route network for rotorcraft can enhance flight safety and weather resilience of rotorcraft operations. Benefits for the environment may also be expected (less VFR flights at very low altitude AGL, avoidance of noise sensitive areas thanks to narrow or (and) curved Low Level IFR routes).
