  2. Operating Environments

En-Route

An En-route Operating Environment is a volume of airspace outside terminal manoeuvring areas, where the climb, cruise and descent phases of flight take place and within which, or part of which, area control service is provided by an ATC unit.

Note : definitions of OEs and sub-OEs to be reviewed in the next dataset.
