comment: A temporary corridor of defined dimensions recommended for use by high-speed, fixed-wing aircraft that presents the minimum known hazards to low-flying aircraft transiting the combat zone. Army--An MRR is a temporary flight route recommended for USAF use. It presents the minimum known hazards to low-flying aircraft in the control zone (CZ). The MRR must be approved by the airspace control authority and avoids fire support targets such as air defence weapons, landing zones, pick-up zones, FARPs, and Army airfields.
