Virtual Operators

M003 authorizes a Virtual Military Operator to use any make, model, and series (M/M/S) of airplanes/aircraft within the arsenal of the military authorities identified in M001. The make, model, and series selected must correlate to an approved ICAO aircraft code contained within the Positive Control Network's ICAO Data - Aircraft database. In contrast to M001, M003 does not identify the Virtual Military Operator's overall authority to conduct a particular kind of operation. Instead, it represents POSCON's approval of the Virtual Military Operator's use of a particular airplane/aircraft in carrying out the kinds of operations that are authorized. The rest of the set of Ops Specs are then put into place to authorize the Virtual Military Operator to conduct specific types of operations in accordance with the authorizations and airplanes/aircraft identified in M001 and M003.
