Where are Jet Routes found?

• A. FL180 - FL450, inclusive
• B. FL100 - FL250, inclusive
• C. Below FL100
• D. Between VORs at any altitude

Answer: (A)

Jet Routes are high-altitude en route airways used by IFR flights at higher speeds and longer distances. They occupy the upper portion of the airspace, defined specifically for flight levels rather than feet above the ground. The altitude range for Jet Routes is from FL180 (18,000 feet) up to FL450 (45,000 feet), inclusive. That’s why Jet Routes are found between 18,000 and 45,000 feet. They aren’t used below these levels, and they aren’t laid out at any altitude or simply “between VORs at any altitude.” On charts they’re shown as high-altitude routes (typically labeled with J) linking VORs for efficient high-speed routing.
