3.
NATIONAL ROUTE PROGRAM (NRP) - The North American Route Program is a joint Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and NAV CANADA program. The objective of the NRP is to harmonize and adopt common procedures, to the extent possible, applicable to random route flight operations at and above Flight Level 290 (FL290) within the conterminous United States and Canada. Several US Air Force aircraft have the necessary equipment to qualify for and fly under the NRP rules and procedures. The procedures are published in FAA Advisory Circular 90-91H. Advisory Circulars are available through the FAA website at http://www.faa.gov. Any questions on NRP procedures and altitudes should be forwarded to the ATC TC System Command Center, Herndon, VA at C703-904-4417.
