Victor airways

Victor airways have minimum (and possibly maximum) altitudes for IFR operations established.

[4][5][6] Victor airways are depicted as black solid lines on IFR Low-Altitude Enroute charts and as thick faded blue lines on VFR Terminal and Sectional Area charts.

They are identified by a number, similar to an interstate highway (for example, a pilot could say that he/she is "flying Victor Eight").

Low-level controlled fixed RNAV routes have dimensions of 4 NM of primary obstacle protection area, plus 2 NM of secondary obstacle protection area on each side of the centreline.

RNAV T-route airspace and protection areas do not splay with distance from the waypoint.

The VOR station shown on this chart has airways shown at bearings of 086, 116, 129, 257, 296, and 313. Another airway emanating from a different station also crosses the south-west corner of the map.
