- Establish criteria and procedures providing for the creation and use of adjustable lateral and vertical limits of the airspace Criteria and procedures are listed in the Airspace reservation rules document. - Assess the national airspace structures and route network with the aim of planning for flexible airspace structures and procedures Assessments are performed when required on permanent bases. Structures and procedures are planed in a flexible way. Requirements can be submitted by stakeholders at any time and assessed as soon as they are received. - Define specific conditions under which the responsibility for separation between civil and military flights rests on the ATS units or on the controlling military units The specific conditions are laid out in two Letter of Agreements: - LoA between ASP and Air Force, and - LoA between CAA of the three Baltic States and ATO HQ regarding the Air Policing Mission. - Establish mechanisms to assess performance of FUA operations the assessment is performed through the ASP QMS. KPIs are revised and approved on annual basis. - Based on the outcome of this assessment, periodically review and revise as necessary, airspace procedures There is regular assessment of the airspace procedures and they are amended is necessary. - Establish mechanisms to archive data on the requests, allocation and actual use of airspace structures for further analysis and planning activities The mechanism is in place and performed manually. The State has abandoned application of permanent airspace restrictions: There is no permanently reserved airspace. o changes. 7.1.2 At Pre-tactical Airspace Management Level 2 FUA Level 2 Implemented: Airspace Management Cell AMC: The AMC functions are conducted by the O ATM division. eighbouring States are informed according to the LoAs. Joint Civil- Military Cell: There are no plans yet to set up a formal AMC to manage the airspace at pre-tactical level. Currently the AMC functions are conducted by the O ATM division. The airspace is allocated in accordance with the conditions and procedures defined in Article 4.1: The established AMC (referred to above) is provided with adequate supporting systems to perform and communicate the pre-tactical airspace management tasks: The AMC functions are conducted by the O ATM division. o changes. 7.1.3 At Tactical Airspace Management Level 3 FUA Level 3 Implemented: There is Tactical co-ordination between Oro avigacija (O) and Military authorities. The State has ensured that the relevant ATS Units and controlling military units: - establish coordination procedures and communication facilities to allow the real-time activation, deactivation or reallocation of airspace allocated at pre-tactical level: Coordination procedures and communication facilities are established.

- establish coordination procedures to ensure the timely and effective exchange of any modification of planned airspace reservations and the adequate notification to all affected users: Procedures are defined in the LoAs. - establish coordination procedures and supporting systems to ensure safety when managing interactions between civil and military flights: Procedures are defined in the LoAs. - establish coordination procedures to permit direct communication of relevant information to resolve specific traffic situations where civil and military controllers are providing services in the same airspace: Specifically: - Position of aircraft Procedures are defined in the LoAs for Alpha Scramble flights only. (All other flights are controlled by civil ASP) - Flight intention of aircraft Procedures are defined in the LoAs for Alpha Scramble flights only. (All other flights are controlled by civil ASP) All airspace reservations are released as soon as activities having caused their establishment cease: The release and notification process are in the LoAs. o changes. 7.2 Cooperation between Member States at the 3 levels of FUA 7.2.1 At Strategic Airspace Management Level 1 The State coordinates its airspace management policy with the respective States to jointly address the use of crossborder airspace structures: Currently it is not required.

Type(s) of cross-border airspace use is applied in the State: Cross-border area ot needed. Shared reserved airspace (TRA and TSA) ot needed. Conditional routes ot needed. The State has established with neighbouring States one common set of standards for separations between civil and military flights for cross-border activities: For ATO flights there is no need for special permission to cross borders. There are common set of standards for separations written in LoA; that apply to the three Baltic States and ATO HQ for Air Policing Function. o changes. 7.2.2 At Pre-tactical Airspace Management Level 2 The State has established a joint or multinational AMC with neighbouring States: Currently not needed. Depends on FAB implementation. o changes. 7.2.3 At Tactical Airspace Management Level 3 The State has established a common set of procedures to manage specific traffic situations and/or to enhance the realtime airspace management between civil and military units involved in or concerned with cross-border activities: There are common set of standards for separations written in LoA; that apply to the three Baltic States and ATO HQ for Air Policing Function. o changes. 7.3 Safety assessment The State has established a safety management process to conduct all safety assessment activities before the introduction of any changes to the operations of the FUA: Based on ESARR 4. 7.4 Performance assessment Evaluation of the functioning of agreements, procedures and supporting systems established at the 3 levels Safety KPIs are set. Airspace capacity KPIs are set. Efficiency KPIs are set. Flexibility of aircraft operations of all users KPIs are set. LCIP2009-2013 Lithuania Chapter 7-5 Released Issue
