The complexity of European Airspace 12000 Military Aircraft are stationed in Europe!! 5 FUA Concept Statement Fundamental principle of the 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. Any necessary airspace segregation should be temporary, based on real-time usage within a specific time period. 6

Implementing the FUA Level 1 To establish the appropriate civil-military body Military participation requires coordination at MoD level to cover all potential actors Raises the question of the MoD ATM regulator The military representation must have the appropriate delegation from the ministerial level to discharge its responsibilities and to make proper decisions The right level is «technico-political» and must be balanced with the civil representation in the group 9 Implementing the FUA Level 2 To establish the appropriate civil-military procedures Necessary coordination at MoD level to cover all potential airspace users requests, defence cell (Air Force Army Navy others ) Requires creating the national Airspace Management Cell (AMC) and providing the necessary human resources and support structures Requires tight coordination with Air Operation Command Center/Military Air Traffic Control Implementation of the procedures decided at level 1 to play the pre-tactical phase 10

Envisaging the FUA Preparation of the training Low level visual flights v/s High level training in protected areas Tactical changes, COMAOs Complex missions involving several squadrons Air to air refuelling Dual vision pilot/controller IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! 13 Implementing the FUA Level 3 To establish the appropriate civil-military procedures Requires a defence and then a national decision on how to implement unit to unit direct communication at tactical level Requires the availablity of appropriate experts with appropriate training Bears also a wider dimension regarding how en-route Operational Air Traffic is conducted Implementation of the procedures decided at level 1 to play the tactical phase Requires tools and procedures for efficient data storage and performance evaluation 14
