Who may approve requests for special tracks/anchors?

The correct answer indicates that both Air Traffic Control (ATC) and major military command have the authority to approve requests for special tracks or anchors. This dual approval process ensures that there is a comprehensive review of operational requirements and airspace management considerations.

When requests for special tracks or anchors are made, they often involve significant coordination to maintain safety and efficiency within the airspace. ATC plays a crucial role in managing air traffic and ensuring safe operations in the skies, while major military command can assess the broader operational context and strategic implications.

Having both entities involved allows for a well-rounded evaluation that considers both logistical air traffic needs and the military's operational objectives, thereby enhancing overall mission effectiveness and safety in joint operations.
