MTRs with no segment above 1500’ are identified by four-digit numbers; e.g., VR1007, etc. These routes are
generally developed to be flown under Visual Flight Rules.
MTRs that include one or more segments above 1500’ AGL are identified by three or fewer digit numbers; e.g.,
IR21, etc. These routes are developed to be flown, to the maximum extent possible under Instrument Flight Rules.
