3-4-1. GENERAL: On page 544, revise the NOTE beneath subparagraph e. as follows:

* * * * *e. * * *

NOTE–For temporary restricted areas and temporary MOAs, pilots shouldreview the Domestic Notices found on the Federal NOTAM Sys-tem (FNS) NOTAM Search website under External Links or theAir Traffic Plans and Publications website, the FAA SUA website,and/or contact the appropriate overlying ATC facility to determinethe effect of non-depicted SUA areas along their routes of flight.

3-4-9. OBTAINING SPECIAL USE AIRSPACE STATUS: On page 545, add new subparagraph b. and redesignate subsequentsubparagraphs accordingly as follows:

a. * * *b. An airspace NOTAM will be issued for SUA when the SUA

On page 550, add new paragraph 3-5-9 as follows:

3-5-9. OTHER NON-CHARTED AIRSPACE AREASa. Stationary or Moving Altitude Reservation (ALTRV). A

Stationary or Moving ALTRV is announced via an airspace NOTAMissued by the Central Altitude Reservation Facility (CARF) orARTCC. These announcements will appear in CARF and/orARTCC NOTAMS. This airspace ensures non-participating IFRaircraft remain separated from special activity. Non-participatingVFR aircraft are permitted to fly through the area but shouldexercise vigilance.

b. ATC ASSIGNED AIRSPACE. Airspace of defined vertical/lateral limits, assigned by ATC, for the purpose of providing airtraffic segregation between the specified activities being con-ducted within the assigned airspace and other IFR air traffic.ATCAA locations and scheduled activation information can befound on the FAA SUA website; a NOTAM will not be issued toannounce the activation of this airspace.

Chapter 4. AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

4-2-4. AIRCRAFT CALL SIGNS: On page 565, revise subparagraph b.; delete subparagraph b.2. and both EXAMPLEs beneath subparagraphs b.1. and b.3.; insert new subparagraphs b.1.-b.3. including a new EXAMPLE beneath new subparagraph b.1.; revise and redesignate old subparagraphs b.1. and b.3. as new subparagraphs b.3.(a) and b.3.(b) respectively; and add newsubparagraphs b.4. and b.5. including a new NOTE and REFERENCE beneath new subparagraph b.4. as follows:

* * * * *b. Air Ambulance Flights. * * * It is only intended for those

missions of an urgent medical nature and to be utilized only forthat portion of the flight requiring priority handling. It is importantfor ATC to be aware of a flight’s MEDEVAC status, and it is thepilot’s responsibility to ensure that this information is provided toATC.

1. To receive priority handling from ATC, the pilot must verballyidentify the flight in radio transmissions by stating “MEDEVAC”followed by the FAA authorized call sign (ICAO 3LD, US Special,or local) or the aircraft civil “N” registration numbers/letters.

EXAMPLE–If the aircraft identification of the flight indicates DAL51, the pilotstates “MEDEVAC Delta Fifty One.”

If the aircraft identification of the flight indicates MDSTR1, thepilot states “MEDEVAC Medstar One.”

If the aircraft identification of the flight indicates N123G orLN123G, the pilot states “MEDEVAC One Two Three Golf”.

2. If requested by the pilot, ATC will provide additional assist-ance (e.g., landline notifications) to expedite ground handling ofpatients, vital organs, or urgently needed medical materials.When possible make these requests to ATC via methods otherthan through ATC radio frequencies.



3. MEDEVAC flights may include:(a) Civilian air ambulance flights responding to medical emer-

gencies (e.g., first call to an accident scene, carrying patients,organ donors, organs, or other urgently needed lifesaving medicalmaterial).

(b) Air carrier and air taxi flights responding to medical emer-gencies. The nature of these medical emergency flights usuallyconcerns the transportation of urgently needed lifesaving medicalmaterials or vital organs, but can include inflight medical emer-gencies. It is imperative that the company/pilot determine, by thenature/urgency of the specific medical cargo, if priority ATCassistance is required.

4. When filing a flight plan, pilots may include “L” for MEDEVACwith the aircraft registration letters/digits and/or include“MEDEVAC” in Item 11 (Remarks) of the flight plan or Item 18(Other Information) of an international flight plan. However, ATCwill only use these flight plan entries for informational purposes oras a visual indicator. ATC will only provide priority handling whenthe pilot verbally identifies the “MEDEVAC” status of the flight asdescribed in subparagraph b1 above.

NOTE–Civilian air ambulance aircraft operating VFR and without a filedflight plan are eligible for priority handling in accordance withsubparagraph b1 above.

REFERENCE–AIM, Para 5-1-8, Flight Plan (FAA Form 7233-1)-Domestic FlightsAIM, Para 5-1-9, International Flight Plan (FAA Form 7233-4)-IFRFlights (For Domestic or International Flights)

5. ATC will also provide priority handling to HOSP and AIREVAC flights when verbally requested. These aircraft may file“HOSP” or “AIR EVAC” in either Item 11 (Remarks) of the flightplan or Item 18 of an international flight plan. For aircraft identi-fication in radio transmissions, civilian pilots will use normal callsigns when filing “HOSP” and military pilots will use the “EVAC”call sign.
