To improve safety, airspace capacity, and flight efficiency during the FALCON STRIKE 2025 exercise, flights operating into the affected airspace must follow the clearance restrictions and flight planning procedures outlined in this AIP Supplement. For information not listed in this AIP SUP, follow the AIP ENR 1.10 FLIGHT PLANNING and related NOTAMs. For flight unable to comply to the mentioned procedure, coordinate with Live Fly Cell prior to submit the flight plan.
Remark: For flight operate on R470 (VTN - ELNET) and M648 (BOPNU - MUGNO) shall expect RADAR vector to avoid exercise area when required by military agency.
