1.2 Responsible Body and Acknowledgement
1.2.1 This document has been developed by the EUROCONTROL Airspace and Navigation Team (ANT). It is expected that the EUROCONTROL Manual for Airspace Planning and its future amendments will be endorsed in accordance with the EUROCONTROL EATM procedures.
1.2.2 The EUROCONTROL Agency wishes to acknowledge the valuable assistance received from Member States and the International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations (IAOPA) in preparing this Planning Manual.
1.3 Structure of the Manual
1.3.1 The EUROCONTROL Manual for Airspace Planning comprises two volumes. Volume 1 describes the institutional framework and applicability of the document, whereas Volume 2 (this document) contains detailed guidelines and planning criteria.
Section 1 -General Guidelines for the Establishment of Airspace Structures -identifies general principles for the establishment and use of airspace structures.
Section 2 -ATS Airspace Classification - provides guidance for the harmonisation and simplification of ECAC Airspace Classification.
Section 3 -Airspace Restriction/ Reservation Design – deals with planning consideration for the design of Airspace Restrictions and Reservations and for re-shaping the airspace to accommodate user-preferred trajectories.
Section 4 -ATS Route/Sector Design -describes the general criteria used for the development of the European ATS Route Network (ARN) and associated airspace sectorisation, as well as planning consideration for the establishment of Conditional Routes.
1 In the context of this manual, “Airspace Structure” includes Control Area (CTA), Terminal Control Area (TMA), Control Zone (CTR), ATS Route, ATC Sector, Conditional Route (CDR), Danger Area (D), Restricted Area (R), Prohibited Area (P), Temporary Segregated Area (TSA), Temporary Reserved Area (TRA), Cross-Border Area (CBA), Reduced Co-ordination Airspace (RCA), Prior Co-ordination Airspace (PCA), …
Edition: 2.0 Released Issue Page xvii
Section 5 -Terminal Airspace Design - provides a methodology and identifies principles associated with Terminal Airspace design.
Section 6 -Delegation of the Responsibility for ATS Provision - provides guidance for the Delegation of the Responsibility for Air Traffic Services Provision.
Section 7 -Free Route Airspace Design - provides initial guidance material for the design of Free Route Airspace over a group of States.
Section 8 -Terms and References -provides a list of acronyms and abbreviations, as well as an explanation of terms and a list of references and source documents used to develop the manual.
2 PURPOSE
2.1 Need for an EUROCONTROL Manual for Airspace Planning
2.1.1 In order to reconcile competing requirements in airspace utilisation between Commercial Aviation (highest possible protection from other airspace users), General Aviation & Aerial Work (maximum freedom in all airspace) and Military Aviation (highest possible flexibility, freedom of access to all airspace, protection for special activity and low altitude flying), airspace design and allocation is often a compromise between all expressed requirements and lead usually to lengthy discussions between the parties concerned. Therefore, in order to ensure more transparency and predictability of airspace management measures, it is necessary to establish within each State objective criteria for the design of airspace.
