sion as defined in § 93.350(d). 

(c) Aircraft transiting the area with-

in the Hudson River Exclusion in ac-
cordance with § 93.350(b) must transit 
the Hudson River Exclusion at or above 
an altitude of 1,000 feet MSL up to, but 
not including, the floor of the over-
lying Class B airspace.

operating procedures. 

No person may operate an airplane in 

the East River Exclusion extending

Subpart A—General 

§ 95.1

Applicability. 

(a) This part prescribes altitudes gov-

erning the operation of aircraft under 
IFR on ATS routes, or other direct 
routes for which an MEA is designated 
in this part. In addition, it designates 
mountainous areas and changeover 
points. 

(b) The MAA is the highest altitude 

on an ATS route, or other direct route 
for which an MEA is designated, at 
which adequate reception of VOR sig-
nals is assured. 

(c) The MCA applies to the operation 

of an aircraft proceeding to a higher 
minimum en route altitude when cross-
ing specified fixes. 

(d) The MEA is the minimum en 

route IFR altitude on an ATS route, 
ATS route segment, or other direct 
route. The MEA applies to the entire 
width of the ATS route, ATS route seg-
ment, or other direct route between 
fixes defining that route. Unless other-
wise specified, an MEA prescribed for 
an off airway route or route segment 
applies to the airspace 4 nautical miles 
on each side of a direct course between 
the navigation fixes defining that route 
or route segment. 

(e) The MOCA assures obstruction 

clearance on an ATS route, ATS route 
segment, or other direct route, and 
adequate reception of VOR navigation 
signals within 22 nautical miles of a 
VOR station used to define the route. 

(f) The MRA applies to the operation 

of an aircraft over an intersection de-
fined by ground-based navigation aids. 
The MRA is the lowest altitude at 
which the intersection can be deter-
mined using the ground-based naviga-
tion aids. 

(g) The changeover point (COP) ap-

plies to operation of an aircraft along a 
Federal airway, jet route, or other di-
rect route; for which an MEA is des-
ignated in this part. It is the point for 
transfer of the airborne navigation ref-
erence from the ground-based naviga-
tion aid behind the aircraft to the next
