5. STRATEGIC LEVEL ASM FUA LEVEL 1 National Instance : the Directoire (DEA), co-directed by the civilian Regulation Director (DAST) and operational air trafic director (DIRCAM) is the permanent high level strategic policy body in charge of : • Re-assessment of current State airspace and route structures • Planning of temporary airspace structures (TSAs, CBAs, CDRs) • Establishment of negotiation procedures and priority rules in AMC • Establishment of periodical review mechanism • Evaluation of national Airspace Requirements National permanent groups, co-directed by DSNA and DIRCAM reporting to DEA • GPCSC : Permanent group for control systems coordination • GPCA : Permanent group for ATM coordination Regional Instances : CRG : « Comité Régional de Gestion » • 4 Regional Committees (permanent structure) • Prepare projects for validation by DEA • Preparation of special events

Athis-Mons CNGE

7. LEVEL 2 PROTOCOL • The protocol is composed of two parts • general body revised every 3 years • annexes revised every year • Validated in DEA • Common instructions with fixed priorities • Constraint sharing if needed • Event forecast For an optimal use of Airspace and a permanent dialogue

8. Optimization of the airspace use • Priorities to the General Air Traffic : • To improve Air Traffic Flow ; • To adapt capacity to demand ; • Taking into account « Black slots » when very heavy traffic. • Rescue clauses : • To limit the restrictions to OAT : • limitation of the number of black slot to the most penalizing ; • Lateral and vertical partitioning of the areas; • limitation of simultaneously partitioning.

42. Westbound tracks agreement • Regarding weather conditions on north Atlantic ocean, a level 2 protocol priority is given to GAT in TSA8 (11h00 to 14h00), in TSA6 (11h30 to 14h30),& in D12N/S/G (12h00 to 15h00) for westbound tracks. • The purpose of such a measure is to adapt airspace/capacity availability to the demand (especially NAT westbound tracks). • The southern the tracks are, the most penalising is the military activity for the users. • Several scenarios (named by French FIR exit point prior entering SHANWICK ocean FIR) have been created describing repercussions on military activity.
