In the United States, airways or air routes are defined by the FAA in two ways: "VOR Federal airways and Low/Medium Frequency (L/MF) (Colored) Federal airways" These are designated routes which aeroplanes fly to aid in navigation and help with separation to avoid accidents. Airways are defined with segments within a specific altitude block, corridor width, and between fixed geographic coordinates for satellites navigation system, or between ground-based radio transmitter navigational aids (navaids; such as VORs or NBDs) or the intersection of specific radials of two navaids. Flights in and out of airports are via specific air corridors Question - why wasn't the Blackhwak flying in that approach corridor? UK reports its call sign PAT 25, which stands for priority air transport and is usually reserved for when the Army is conducting VIP missions, such as having officials onboard. So VIP flights don't have to obey FAA rules?
