Mustang area working altitudes are from which altitude to which altitude (and may be 17,500' MSL upon request)?

Working altitudes define the vertical slice of airspace where you perform maneuvers in a designated training area. For the Mustang area, that band runs from 6,500 feet MSL up to 15,000 feet MSL. If the scenario requires higher altitude, authorization can allow operations up to 17,500 feet MSL upon request. This setup keeps activities within a defined, manageable airspace and facilitates safe separation from other traffic and terrain, while still providing room for higher-altitude training when approved. The other ranges don’t fit because they start too low or extend beyond the published upper limit, or don’t align with the allowed 17,500' ceiling when requested.
