Which data elements belong in an Air Corridor (AC) entry?

• A. Name, Width, Min Alt, Max Alt, DTG Start, DTG End
• B. DTG Start, DTG End, Route, Speed
• C. Name, Unit, Min Alt, Max Alt, Grid
• D. Name, Width, Min Alt, Max Alt, DTG Start, DTG End

Answer: (D)

An Air Corridor entry must capture its identity, its horizontal footprint, its vertical limits, and when it can be used. The best combination includes a name for identification, the width to define how wide the corridor spans laterally, the minimum and maximum altitudes to set the vertical bounds, and the start and end times to specify the active window. This set lets you plan a flight path that passes through the corridor with a clear understanding of where it lies, how high you can fly, and when it’s available. Other options miss at least one of these essential elements or add data (like Route, Speed, Grid, or Unit) that isn’t part of a standard entry for an air corridor, making them less appropriate for defining an AC entry.
