FLEXIBLE USE OF AIRSPACE IN GERMANY
FUA SPECIFICATION
Two concepts are the basis for FUA application
FUA implemented since 1996 (test phase
started in the end of 1995)

FLEXIBLE USE OF AIRSPACE IN GERMANY
FUA SPECIFICATION
Civil and military authorities involved in
FUA National security requirements are
taken into account by guaranteeing availability
of military training areas to military users
(detailed written agreement on procedures)
FUA
TACCS Tactical Command and
Control Service

FLEXIBLE USE OF AIRSPACE IN GERMANY
FUA APPLICATION

• Integrated services provision by DFS (except
  military TWR/APP and Tactical Command and Control
  Service TACCS)
• Service provision to General Air Traffic (GAT)
  and Operational Air Traffic (OAT) outside of
  military training areas by DFS, for OAT inside
  military training areas TACCS or DFS
• OAT-GAT separation outside military training
  areas standard ATC separation (integrated ANSP),
  separation to military training areas shared
  buffer by DFS and TACCS (2,5 NM buffers in- and
  outside military training areas)
• OAT has priority inside military training areas.

FUA ASM LEVEL 1

• Responsible body
• Committee on Airspace Issues - ALF
• (MOT/MOD with DFS/AFSBw as advisors)
• Preparation of proposals concerning strategic ASM
  (airspaces, procedures) by DFS/AFSBw, decision by
  ALF

FUA ASM LEVEL 2 - AIRSPACE MANAGEMENT CELL
(AMC)

• AMC staffed with civil and military personnel
  (DFS/AFSBw), located at DFS headquarter. Tasks
  include AUP/UUP and co-ordination of other
  special activities.

FUA ASM LEVEL 2 - AMC PROCEDURES

• Approved Agencies collect military airspace
  requests. AMC collects civil requests and
  procedures Airspace Use Plan (AUP).
• Updated AUP procedure used for management of
  sensitive airspaces on the day of operations.
• Interactions with tactical FUA In addition to
  Updated AUP procedure AMC is called in as
  moderator in case of problems on the day of
  operations.

FUA ASM LEVEL 3 - PROVISIONS PROCEDURES

• A Letter of Agreement is the basis for the
  interaction of ATC and TACCS for the level 3
  co-ordination.
• Direct lines are established to enable controller
  to controller co-ordination. System support by
  common air situation picture.
• Exchange of information on tactical
• Airspace activation, Airspace de-activation,
  Airspace re-allocation in real time
• Co-ordination of transit flights under defined
  conditions

FLEXIBLE USE OF AIRSPACE IN GERMANY
IMPROVING FUA LEVEL 1

• Initial ideas from the FAB EC initiative
• FUA level 1 Additional Cross Border Areas
• FUA level 1 Introduction of a Functional
  Airspace Block (FAB) Airspace Policy Body
• The permanent "FAB high-level airspace policy
  body" is required to establish a joint civil and
  military process.

These ideas are under discussion and
final results will be available in 2008

FLEXIBLE USE OF AIRSPACE IN GERMANY
IMPROVING FUA LEVEL 2

• Initial ideas from the FAB EC initiative
• FUA level 2 Introduction of a FAB Air Traffic
  Flow and Capacity Management - Airspace
  Management Function
• The FAB ATFCM-ASM Function combines functions to
  provide flow capacity management services and
  airspace management services at FAB level.
• The FAB ATFCM-ASM Function
• Will co-ordinate and optimise FAB-wide capacity
  provision, traffic flows and use of airspace
  (e.g. activation of military training areas).
• Is the interface to the European network and
  support the overall network performance.

These ideas are under discussion and
final results will be available in 2008

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• A Cross-Border Area (CBA) is established with the
  Netherlands with one set of agreed rules (Letter
  of Agreement)
• The usage of the CBA SEA1 (Germany/Netherlands)
  is jointly planned by the air forces. The result
  is fed into the ASM process via the national
  AMCs.
• Military Key Performance Areas / Key Performance
  Indicators are / will being incorporated in
  detail into DFS management process and target
  setting process.
• Interoperable electronic support tools to support
  a system-wide information flow will be developed.
• Interfaces between ASM Support tools and
  Controller Working Position with the aim to
  transfer data automatically between the two
  systems (e.g. airspace activation / deactivation)
  are in the specification phase.

EXPECTIONS REG. FUA SPECIFICATION

• The FUA specification
• shall provide a common framework.
• shall lead to an improved harmonisation and
  interoperability of structures (airspace and
  organisation), procedures and processes.
• shall be FAB-compatible.
• shall provide to the States (or FABs) the
  flexibility to further enhance and improve
  structures, procedures and processes.
• shall provide to the States (or FABs) the
  flexibility to react on specific local rules or
  requirements.
• shall find the balance between different local
  performance requirements and the need for
  standardisation.
