  1. Airspace Volumes and Sectorisation Good Design Practice

  2. Objective This module provides an understanding of airspace volumes and sectorisation in support of Air Traffic Management

  3. Airspace • Airspace and sector design is used to balance workload • Airspace is delineated to define responsibility • Airspace volumes are used to exclude/contain operations (military, prohibited, national borders, etc.) • Airspace volumes may also be defined due to equipment limitations

  4. Three GOLDEN RULES • Airspace Volumes protect IFR Flight paths • Design volumes AFTER the routes have been designed • Do not design routes to fit into pre-existing airspace volumes • Only delineate as much airspace volume as needed

  5. Terminal Control Area (TMA) En-route TMA CTR A control area normally established at the confluence of ATS routes in the vicinity of one or more major aerodromes. [Doc. 4444]

  6. Terminal Airspace A generic term describing airspace surrounding an airport, within which air traffic services are provided. Such airspace predominantly contains traffic operating along SIDs and STARs or, to a lesser extent, ATS Routes of the Air Route Network. En-Route TMA CTR

  7. Airspace Volumes

  8. Airspace Volumesfrom simple to complex

  9. Terminal Airspace System Combines two or more terminal airspace volumes servicing several airports in close proximity Allows improvement of the design and management of terminal routes and ATC sectorisation

  10. Terminal Airspace Systems

  11. Evolution of functions

  12. Airspace Volumes Protect IFR Flight Paths

  13. Airspace Volumes Protect IFR Flight Paths

  14. Airspace Volumes Do not take more airspace than needed….

  15. Airspace Sectorisation

  16. Geographical Sectorisation

  17. Functional Sectorisation

  18. ATC Sectorisation Avoid Sector designs that cause stepped climbs or descents

  19. ATC Sectorisation Sector boundaries should not coincide with route center lines

  20. ATC Sectorisation Maintain holding area in same sector

  21. ATC Sectorisation If able, keep sectors the same when runway changes

  22. ATC Sectorisation Avoid crossing too close to sector boundary

  23. ATC Sectorisation • Vertical limits of geographic sectors need not be uniform • Watch out for conflicts at boundaries
