  1. Ensuring a 'Flexible Use of Airspace'…. ICAO EANPG FUA Task Force Paris, 20-22 May 2008 EUROCONTROL Airspace, Network Planning & Navigation Division

  2. Ensuring a 'Flexible Use of Airspace'…. Presentation structure: • FUA Background & History • Rationale • Basics • Practical examples • Benefits

  3. Why we need flexibility in the European airspace ? 38 EUROCONTROL States

  4. Why we need flexibility in the European airspace ? 42 ECAC States

  5. Why we need flexibility in the European airspace ? 27 EUROPEAN UNION States

  6. Why we need flexibility in the European airspace ? 26 NATO States

  7. Why we need flexibility in the European airspace ? Last but not least: 53 ICAO EUR States

  8. Why we need flexibility in the European airspace ? More than 33.000 flights a day… How to reconcile 37% and 9.000.000? 42 ECAC States 37% of European airspace is somehow segregated … more than 9.000.000 flights a year!

  9. Why we need a flexible and more dynamic approach to airspace use in Europe ? Up to 50.000 flights a day… in 2020 2000  2020

  10. Who are the stakeholders in the European Airspace Network ? SPORT AVIATION GENERAL AVIATION AERIAL WORK AVIATION AIRLINES AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES PROVIDERS AIR TRAFFIC FLOW & CAPACITY MANAGEMENT AIRSPACE AIRPORTS MILITARY

  13. Since 1996 through … How to satisfy all the stakeholders’ requirements ? FLEXIBLE USE OF AIRSPACE Applied in majority of ECAC States

  14. Fundamental principle of FUA: The airspace should not be designated as either pure civil or military airspace, but rather be considered as a continuum in which all user requirements have to be accommodated to the extent possible.

  15. Non-FUA vs. FUA P P D R PROHIBITED PROHIBITED TEMPORARY RESERVED AREA TRA TSA TRA DANGER CROSSING POSSIBLE WHEN ACTIVE / RELEASED AS SOON AS ACTIVITY STOPS TEMPORARY SEGREGATED AREA TSA RESTRICTED RELEASED AS SOON AS ACTIVITY STOPS = Normally published as occupied H24 = =

  16. How is FUA applied in practice? Through dynamic Airspace Management (ASM)

  17. ASM Level 1 Strategic Level Establishment of pre-determined airspace structures Pre-tactical Level ASM Level 2 Day-today allocation of airspace according to users’ requirements Tactical Level ASM Level 3 Real-time use of airspace allowing a safe OAT/GAT separation Within three ASM levels…

  18. Strategic Level High-Level Civil / Military Airspace Policy Body ASM Level 1 Definition and review of national airspace policy and organisation Joint Civil / Military Cell (AMC) ASM Level 2 Pre-tactical Level Day-to day airspace allocation according to user requirements Tactical Level Appropriate Civil / Military ATS Units Real-time use of airspace allowing a safe separation between civil and military aircraft ASM Level 3 Through Civil / Military Coordination …

  19. Conditional Route (CDR)Non-permanent ATS route or portion thereof which can be planned and used under specified conditions Basic ATS route CDR • Temporary Reserved/Segregated Area (TRA/TSA) Airspace temporary reserved or segregated • Cross-Border Area (CBA) TRAs or TSAs established overinternational boundaries TSA CBA • Reduced Coordination Airspace (RCA)Specified portion of airspace within which GAT is permitted “off-route” without requiring prior co ordination. RCA Crossing subject to prior co-ordination Using flexible Airspace Structures…

  20. CDR 1 • CDR 2 • CDR 3 CDR Categorisation • Expected to be available most of the time • Plannable same way as permanent ATS routes Permanently plannable during the times published in AIP • Daily allocated as negotiated • Plannable only in accordance with daily AUP/CRAM • Part of pre-defined routing scenario Non-permanently plannable • Usable upon ATC instructions only as short notice routing Not Plannable

  21. AMC Airspace Management Cell (AMC) • Joint Civil / Military Body • Established by National Authority • Allocates airspace identified as TRA, TSA, CBA or CDR • Allocation decision notified by Airspace Use Plan (AUP)

  22. CADF Centralised Airspace Data Function (CADF) • Part of the CFMU in Brussels • Combines National AUPs into the Conditional Route Availability Message (CRAM) • CRAM contains list of available CDRs throughout all ECAC Region

  23. FUA Concept How does it work in practice?

  24. After FUA implementation a D area may be published as a TRA … ASM Strategic Level 1 ATS Route ATS Route ATS Route FUA Concept in practice… Before FUA implementation … TRA 10 D 10

  25. … ora Conditional Route (CDR 2) made available … for flight planning ASM Pre-tactical Level 2 ATS Route ATS Route Conditional Route (CDR 2) ATS Route FUA Concept in practice… With FUA application a TRA can be allocated… the day before operation TRA 10

  26. … a Conditional Route (CDR 3) can be opened … for direct routing ASM Tactical Level 3 ATS Route ATS Route Conditional Route (CDR 3) ATS Route FUA Concept in practice… With FUA application as soon as a TRA is not active … TRA 10

  27. FUA in European Network… 884 aircraft affected in a day Network effect: 10 States! Traffic is flying through… TSAs are active… TSAs released, 4 CDRs activated…

  29. FUA Concept Benefits?

  30. By filled FPLs on Available CDRs 1755 Flights Fuel : CO2 Emissions : 172 T 540 T ~200.000 € Assessment of FUA Operations ECONOMY REALISED During 5 week days between 11/09/07 and 15/09/07

  31. By not planning on available CDRs 5150 Flights Fuel : CO2 Emissions : +291 T +917 T +340.000€ Assessment of FUA Operations POTENTIAL ECONOMY NOT REALISED During 5 week days between 11/09/07 and 15/09/07

  32. 540.000 € Assessment of FUA Operations TOTAL ECONOMY AVAILABLE Fuel : CO2 Emissions : During 5 week days between 11/09/07 and 15/09/07 463 T 1457 T An average during 2007 14.350 T 45.000 T 11.000.000 €
