Mach Technique [ICAO]
Describes a control technique used by air traffic control whereby turbojet aircraft operating successively along suitable routes are cleared to maintain appropriate MACH numbers for a relevant portion of the en route phase of flight. The principal objective is to achieve improved utilization of the airspace and to ensure that separation between successive aircraft does not decrease below the established minima.
"PMHC urges Congress to act swiftly in passing these vital pieces of legislation, emphasizing that pilots and air traffic controllers have endured mental health challenges in silence for far too long. By advancing these reforms, we can foster a modern approach to aviation mental fitness, thus creating a safer environment for all aviation professionals.”
