Overview of Europe’s Traffic
Dense Route Network
1000 airports
30000 aircraft per day
1000 control sectors
80% of traffic is European internal
50% of traffic flies less than 600km
Military requirements
Traffic bottlenecks
(account for 80% of en-route delay)

FLEXIBLE USE OF
AIRSPACE
CONCEPT
10
The basis of the FUA concept
11
•
Airspace no longer designated as civil or military
airspace, a continuum
•
Airspace used flexibly on a day to day basis 
necessary airspace segregation only of temporary
nature;
•
Ensure more efficient sharing through joint
civil/military strategic planning and pre-tactical airspace
allocation: Airspace Management Cells (AMCs)
Fundamental principle of
FUA
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.

 Plannable same way as permanent ATS routes
Non‐permanently plannable
 Daily allocated as negotiated
 Plannable only in accordance with daily AUP/EAUP
 Part of pre‐defined routing scenario
Not Plannable
 Usable upon ATC instructions only as short notice routing
15
ASM Notification Process
Mil airspace users advise on
requirement;
National Airspace Use Plan (AUP);
Put together by the Network Manager,
becomes European Airspace Use Plan
(EAUP);
Used by Aircraft Operators in
improving flight trajectory.

Regulatory aspect in regard to FUA Concept
• FUA Concept described
• Processes & procedures at all three ASM Levels
• It is the reference document for FUA Regulation
EUROCONTROL FUA Guidance Documents
Regulatory aspect in regard to FUA Concept - EUROCONTROL
• provides details of procedures and requirements for the application of FUA
• addresses essential interoperability requirements
• a means of compliance
