This report identifies constraints on helicopter operations in the en route environment as they relate to visual flight rules (VFR), special visual flight rules (SVFR), and instrument flight rules (IFR). However, since there is relatively little VFR/SVFR interaction between helicopters in the en route environment, the report concentrates on IFR operations and recommends modifications to route development standards using existing and planned navigation capabilities that will ultimately maximize the use of NAS en route airspace, enhance capacity, and accommodate the unique operational capabilities and requirements of helicopters. This is the second in a series of three reports that address rotorcraft/helicopter standards, route structures, and procedures applies by FAA air traffic facilitates. The series consists of: (1) Rotorcraft Terminal ATC Route Standards, DOT/FAA/RD-90/18, (2) Rotorcraft En Route ATC Route Standards, DOT/FAA/RD-90/19, and (3) Rotorcraft ATC Route Standards - Implementation Guidelines, DOT/FAA/RD-90/20.
