What Does ACO Stand For?
ACO stands for Airspace Control Order
An Airspace Control Order (ACO) is an authoritative directive issued by military or air traffic control authorities that defines the parameters for the management and coordination of airspace within a specified area. It establishes the rules for air operations, including restrictions, designated flight paths, and procedures to ensure the safe and efficient use of airspace, particularly in operational or combat scenarios. The ACO facilitates deconfliction among various air users and enhances situational awareness for all participants in the designated airspace.
