Abstract
This action establishes restricted area R-5306F at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, NC. R-5306F extends from flight level (FL) 180 to FL 290. Restricted area R-5306F overlie the existing restricted area R-5306A, and the adjacent Core Military Operations Area (MOA). Due to altitude constraints, the existing restricted airspace structure around MCAS Cherry Point cannot fully support the training requirements for current legacy aircraft as well as 4th and 5th generation aircraft such as the F-35. In conjunction with R-5306A, restricted area R-5306F will allow for realistic training to enable pilots and aircrews to counter evolving threat nation warfare anti- aircraft capabilities.
