What is the typical altitude limitation for IFR Military Training Routes?

The typical altitude limitation for IFR Military Training Routes (MTRs) is indeed below 10,000 feet. This is primarily to ensure that training operations can occur in a controlled environment while maintaining safety and avoiding conflicts with commercial air traffic, which generally operates at higher altitudes. MTRs are designed for the purpose of providing military pilots with a designated area to practice maneuvers and tactics, often at lower altitudes. Training at these levels helps pilots to familiarize themselves with operating under different conditions and enhances their skills without endangering civilian air operations.

While military training may occur above 10,000 feet, the specific operational context of MTRs typically keeps these routes below this threshold to maximize safety and effectiveness for both military and civilian operations. The upper limits set for MTRs are a balance between the necessity for realistic training environments and the need for safe integration with normal air traffic operations, which is why options indicating altitudes above 10,000 feet are generally inaccurate for MTRs.
