Heard an E-6 Heavy (WTF I said to myself when I heard it) call Center for an
IFR clearance to RTB after performing 'due regard' over oceanic airspace. What is 'due regard'? D. |

Didn't know an E-6 could be a "heavy". See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-6_Mercury "Due regard" for other airplanes' safety is what a military flight must exhibit when it's operating outside of ATC. For example, when conducting firing or carrier exercises in international waters, or patroling for enemy (or drug-runner) craft. The aircraft could start with an IFR clearance, then declare "due regard" and go do its thing (perhaps surveil a suspect ship from afar) and then come back and request an IFR clearance again to get back into the normal system. See section 5.3.2 in: http://west.dtic.mil/whs/directives/...81/d45401p.pdf Kev |
