 Definition of the airspace
 the portion of the atmosphere
 including territorial waters
 12NM out from nation's coast line
 vertical limit
 no international agreement
 FL 660

3
 Division of the airspace
 controlled airspace
 Airtraffic control → execute control
 Classes – A, B, C, D, E

 uncontrolled airspace
 Airtraffic control → act in an advisory manner
 Classes – F, G

 Division of the airspace
 Abbreviations
 CTR/MCTR  TRA
 TMA/MTMA  TSA
 GCI  P…
 CTA  FIR
 R…  ATC
 D…  UUP
 AUP

Flight Information Region

6
 Control Zone
 controlled airspace
 around airports
 to protect air traffic operating to and from
that airport
 from ground level to a specified upper limit

7
 Terminal Control Area
 Controlled airspace
 Around a major airport
 Vertical limit
 to protect air traffic operating to and from
that airport

8
TMA

9
 Control Area
 Air traffic control (class C)
 from FL 95 to FL 660
 sectors
 vertical
+ horizontal boundary
 number depends on density of traffic

10
Temporary Reserved Area

11
Temporary Segregated Area

12
Prohibited Area

13
 Danger Area

 gas releasing
 bomb disposal

14
 Restricted Area
 shooting areas
 parachute jumping
 protective airspace

15
 Air Traffic Zone
 AFIS – Aerodrome Flight Information
Service
 Diameter – 6NM
 GND – 4000 ft

16
 Airspace Use Plan
 published before 1400 UTC to cover the
24 hours’ time period between 0600 UTC
the next day to 0600 UTC the day after
 UUP - Updated Airspace Use Plan
 TRA, R, ATZ, conditional routes, other
reserved airspace

17
 Classes of the airspace
 Defined in terms of flight rules and interactions
between aircraft and ATC
 A, B, C, D, E, F, G
 Characterized:
 Separation
 Services provided
 Speed limitation
 Radio communication requirement
 Subject to ATC clearance
 VMC visibility and distance from cloud minima

 Single European Sky
 the key objectives of the SES:
 to restructure European airspace
 to create additional capacity
 to increase the overall efficiency

 The goals of the SES:

3 times higher capacity of the European airspace
 To improve safety
 To reduce the effects of air traffic on the environment
by 10%
 To reduce cost of ATM services by 50%
