ORCA lower than MEA?
Ron Rosenfeld wrote: I've not flown extensively in mountainous areas. Are there really many airways with MEA's below the minimum 91.177 IFR altitudes for flight? Or are you saying that ATC would not grant the clearance because of radar coverage/MIA/MVA issues? We have lots of airways whose MEA's are well below the peaks of the mountains, 4-5000 feet below. A lot of airways zig zag to get into the low areas or passes between mountains. Some just go right over the top. As for OTP we don't care about radar coverage. We use OTP everyday here, more in the winter than the summer. We don't care what altitude you go at. MVA/MIA is also irrelavant for OTP ops.
