SPINS are part of what is included in an ACO.

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only in some cases
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

SPINS are mission-specific guidance that tell aircrews and joint terminal attack controllers how to operate within a given airspace plan. In an Airspace Coordination Order, this guidance is included to lay out the special instructions for that operation—detailing restrictions, procedures, and coordination requirements that go beyond the standard airspace controls. That connection is why SPINS are included in an ACO: they provide the exact rules and steps needed to safely and effectively integrate air operations for the mission. The other options don’t fit because a standard ACO includes these special instructions when they apply, rather than omitting them or making their inclusion conditional.
