Subpart A - General
Section 95.1 Applicability.
(a) This part prescribes altitudes governing the operation of aircraft under
IFR on ATS routes, or other direct
routes for which an MEA is designated
in this part. In addition, it designates
mountainous areas and changeover
points.
(b) The MAA is the highest altitude
on an ATS route, or other direct route
for which an MEA is designated, at
which adequate reception of VOR signals is assured.
(c) The MCA applies to the operation
of an aircraft proceeding to a higher
minimum en route altitude when crossing specified fixes.
(d) The MEA is the minimum en
route IFR altitude on an ATS route,
ATS route segment, or other direct
route. The MEA applies to the entire
width of the ATS route, ATS route segment, or other direct route between
fixes defining that route. Unless otherwise specified, an MEA prescribed for
an off airway route or route segment
applies to the airspace 4 nautical miles
on each side of a direct course between
the navigation fixes defining that route
or route segment.
(e) The MOCA assures obstruction
clearance on an ATS route, ATS route
segment, or other direct route, and
adequate reception of VOR navigation
signals within 22 nautical miles of a
VOR station used to define the route.
(f) The MRA applies to the operation
of an aircraft over an intersection defined by ground-based navigation aids.
The MRA is the lowest altitude at
which the intersection can be determined using the ground-based navigation aids.
(g) The changeover point (COP) applies to operation of an aircraft along a
Federal airway, jet route, or other direct route; for which an MEA is designated in this part. It is the point for
transfer of the airborne navigation reference from the ground-based navigation aid behind the aircraft to the next
