14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–14 Edition)
Pt. 91, SFAR No. 79
b. When the National Air Traffic Reduced
Complement Operations Plan is activated
pursuant to paragraph 4 of this regulation,
except in accordance with the pertinent pro-
visions of the National Air Traffic Reduced
Complement Operations Plan.
3. Prior to or in connection with the imple-
mentation of the RCOP, and as conditions
warrant, the Director is authorized to:
a. Restrict, prohibit, or permit VFR and/or
IFR operations at any airport, Class B air-
space area, Class C airspace area, or other
class of controlled airspace.
b. Give priority at any airport to flights
that are of military necessity, or are medical
emergency flights, Presidential flights, and
flights transporting critical Government em-
ployees.
c. Implement, at any airport, traffic man-
agement procedures, that may include reduc-
tion of flight operations. Reduction of flight
operations will be accomplished, to the ex-
tent practical, on a pro rata basis among and
between air carrier, commercial operator,
and general aviation operations. Flights can-
celled under this SFAR at a high density
traffic airport will be considered to have
been operated for purposes of part 93 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations.
4. The Director may activate the National
Air Traffic Reduced Complement Operations
Plan at any time he finds that it is necessary
for the safety and efficiency of the National
Airspace System. Upon activation of the
RCOP and notwithstanding any provision of
the FAR to the contrary, the Director is au-
thorized to suspend or modify any airspace
designation.
5. Notice of restrictions, prohibitions, pro-
cedures and other actions taken by the Di-
rector under this regulation with respect to
the operation of the Air Traffic Control sys-
tem will be announced in Notices to Airmen
issued pursuant to § 91.139 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations.
6. The Director may delegate his authority
under this regulation to the extent he con-
siders necessary for the safe and efficient op-
eration of the National Air Traffic Control
System.
