Abstract
Let $(M,\mathcal F)$ be a foliated manifold. We describe all natural operators $\mathcal A$ lifting $\mathcal F$-adapted (i.e. projectable in adapted coordinates) classical linear connections $\nabla$ on $(M,\mathcal F)$ into classical linear connections $\mathcal A(\nabla)$ on the $r$th order adapted frame bundle $P^r(M,\mathcal F)$.
