dumping fuel;
if behind the aircraft dumping fuel and

within 10 NM of the track flown by the aircraft a distance of 50nm 15min flying time

Vertical separation if lateral separation is not maintained
at

least 1000ft if above aircraft dumping fuel; and

least 3000ft if below aircraft dumping fuel;

at

Horizontal Boundaries

frequencies

in

standard

completion of Fuel dumping the termination of the same shall be broadcast on the same frequencies
