2 MUAC implements FRA on behalf of four countries MUAC FRA is laterally available in the: Brussels UIR Amsterdam FIR Hannover UIR Parts of the Rhein UIR (where the provision of ATS is delegated to Maastricht UAC) Vertical Limits are FL245 FL660 FRA trajectories can utilize up to 220 FRA points Free Route Airspace Maastricht

3 The MUAC Concept of Operations for Free Route Airspace Free Route Airspace with Intermediate waypoints Traffic remains subject to general rules, procedures and agreements with adjacent / subjacent ATC units Lateral connectivity via E / X points Trajectories shall not plan closer than 2.5nm to the FRA border Vertical connectivity via A / D points Connecting Routes for main departure / arrival flows Free Route Airspace Maastricht 3

4 Free Route Airspace at MUAC is implemented in three Phases Phase 1 FRA at Night Phase 2 FRA at Night and Weekend Phase 3 FRA H24 07-DEC :00 05:00 (22:00-04:00) ATS-Routes remain 06-DEC-2018 Spring 2020 H24 MON - THU 23:00-05:00 (22:00-04:00) and FRI 23:00 (22:00) - MON 05:00 (04:00) ATS-Routes remain ATS-Routes removed Free Route Airspace Maastricht 4

6 Challenges for the implementation of Free Route Airspace at MUAC Maintaining Capacity and finding the balance with Flight Efficiency ATM Systems of ANSPs which can not process flight plans following the FRA concept Capacity ATM System Limitations Cross-Border Publication Airspace Management Ensuring the consistency of information in three national AIPs Making the transition from route- to airspace management Free Route Airspace Maastricht 6

7 Acceptance of MUAC FRA by the AO community About 60% of all flights crossing MUAC use DCT segments. More than 500 DCT segments were already available before the implementation of FRA. Each Night, about flights use new opportunity's along DCT segments which were made available by FRA. MUAC regularly analyses these new routings to verify the FRA concept. MUAC proactively approaches individual AOs with FRA flight planning suggestions. AOs and CFSPs are very helpful to further improve MUAC FRA Free Route Airspace Maastricht 7

8 Concept for a first implementation of Cross-Border FRA MUAC, Naviair, LFV and DFS are working together on an initiative to offer cross-border FRA between*: Maastricht UAC and Copenhagen ACC Karlsruhe UAC and Copenhagen ACC Karlsruhe UAC and Malmö ACC Eligible are flights departing / arriving at aerodromes within the DK-SE FAB. These FPLs do not require a boundary waypoint between the respective ACCs. Maastricht UAC DK-SE FAB Karlsruhe UAC EDUUN FRA Cell * Between Maastricht UAC and Karlsruhe UAC at a later stage Flights overflying DK-SE FAB are not eligible for cross-border FRA with MUAC or DFS. These FPLs have to file a boundary waypoint between the respective ACCs (same as today). Free Route Airspace Maastricht 8

9 Fields for development towards Cross-Border FRA Delegated Areas NM Systems Publication Publication of FRA in delegated areas between Germany and Denmark / Sweden. Currently, a gap exists where flights have to use ATSroutes or published DCTs to transit the delegated areas. Cross-border FRA between DK-SE FAB and Maastricht / Karlsruhe UAC requires an evolution of NM systems which is planned for release NM Development of solutions to publish cross-border FRA between four ACCs with specific FRA characteristics. It is allowed to file LAT/LONG in DK- SE FAB FRA which is no option for Maastricht and Karlsruhe UACs. First implementation foreseen Spring 2019 Free Route Airspace Maastricht 9
