(c) Arc initial segments should be authorized via the shortest routing
when flight time can be reduced.


What does this mean?


I'll give it my best guess: It is federal redundancy saying in another
way that ARC initials are to be used only when they can reduce initial
segment miles and only when it is the shortest distance within some
particular quadrant.
