Separation from Airspace Reservations
3 Paragraphs8-6-1–8-6-3
8-6-1 TEMPORARY STATIONARY AIRSPACE RESERVATIONS
Separate aircraft from a temporary stationary reservation by one of two methods:
Laterally: Clear aircraft so that the protected airspace along the route of flight does not overlap the geographical area of the stationary reservation. (See FIG 8-6-1.)
FIG 8-6-1 Temporary Stationary Airspace Reservations
Vertically: Clear aircraft so that vertical separation exists while the aircraft is within a geographical area defined as the stationary reservation plus a buffer around the perimeter equivalent to one‐half the lateral separation minimum. (See FIG 8-6-2.)
FIG 8-6-2 Temporary Stationary Airspace Reservations
8-6-2 REFUSAL OF AVOIDANCE CLEARANCE
If a pilot refuses to accept a clearance to avoid a reservation, inform him/her of the potential hazard, advise him/her that services will not be provided while the flight is within the reservation and, if possible, inform the appropriate using agency.
8-6-3 TEMPORARY MOVING AIRSPACE RESERVATIONS
Separate aircraft from a temporary moving airspace reservation by one of the following methods:
Laterally: Clear aircraft so that the protected airspace along the route of flight does not overlap the (time‐dependent) geographical area of the moving airspace reservation.
Longitudinally: Clear aircraft so that the appropriate longitudinal minimum exists ahead of the first or behind the last aircraft operating within the reservation.
Vertically: Clear aircraft so that vertical separation exists while the aircraft is within a (time‐dependent) geographical area defined as the moving airspace reservation plus a buffer around the perimeter equivalent to one‐half the lateral separation minimum.
