Federal Aviation Administration Twentieth Edition
provide an overflow resource in the low altitude system which would enhance ATC services. A few facilities have historically allowed turbojets to proceed between certain city pairs, such as Milwaukee and Chicago, via tower en route and these locations may continue this service. However, the expanded TEC program will be applied, generally, for nonturbojet aircraft operating at and below 10,000 feet. The program is entirely within the approach control airspace of multiple terminal facilities. Essentially, it is for relatively short flights. Participating pilots are encouraged to use TEC for flights of 2 hours duration or less. If longer flights are planned, extensive coordination may be required with the multiple complex which could result in unanticipated delays.
40.2 There are no unique requirements upon pilots to use the TEC program. Normal flight plan filing procedures will ensure proper flight plan processing. Pilots should include the acronym “TEC” in the remarks selection of the flight plan when requesting tower en route.
40.3
All approach controls in the system may not operate up to the maximum TEC altitude of 10,000 feet. IFR flight may be planned to any satellite airport in proximity to the major primary airport via the same routing.

Services in Offshore Controlled Airspace
41.1 Pilots requesting TEC are subject to the same delay factor at the destination airport as other aircraft in the ATC system. In addition, departure and en route delays may occur depending upon individual facility workload. When a major metropolitan airport is incurring significant delays, pilots in the TEC program may want to consider an alternative airport experiencing no delay.
41.2 Flights which operate between the U.S. 3.mile territorial limit and the adjoining oceanic controlled airspace/flight information region (CTA/FIR) bound-aries generally operate in airspace designated by federal regulation as “controlled airspace,” or “offshore controlled airspace.”
41.3 Within the designated areas ATC radar surveillance, ground based navigational signal coverage, and air/ground communications are capable of supporting air traffic services comparable to those provided over U.S. domestic controlled airspace.
41.4
Pilots should be aware that domestic proce-dures will be applied in offshore controlled airspace to both VFR and IFR aircraft using ATC services.

Pilot/Controller Roles/Responsibilities
42.1 General
42.1.1 The roles and responsibilities of the pilot and controller for effective participation in the ATC system are contained in several documents. Pilot responsibilities are in the Federal Aviation Regula-tions (Title 14 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations) and the air traffic controller’s are in FAA Order 7110.65, Air Traffic Control, and supplemental FAA directives. Additional and supplemental information for pilots can be found in the current Aeronautical Information Manual, Notices to Airmen, advisory circulars, and aeronauti-cal charts. Since there are many other excellent publications produced by nongovernment organiza-tions as well as other Government organizations with various updating cycles, questions concerning the latest or most current material can be resolved by cross.checking with the above mentioned docu-ments.
