Mountainous Terrain Escape Routes

Mountainous Terrain Escape Routes refer to the pre-planned routes that an aircraft can take during a flight over high, mountainous terrain to ensure safe descent in case of an emergency situation. These escape routes are crucial for the safety of the aircraft and its passengers as they enable the aircraft to descend below the Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude (MOCA). In regions such as Central Asia, where there are vast areas of high terrain, planning and implementing mountainous terrain escape routes is particularly crucial for safe air travel. These escape routes must be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that they remain effective and reliable.
