(ref. Part C, Ch.6)
1. Terminal Airspace Structures (ref. Part C 6.4.2)
. Are all terminal routes, holding patterns and their associated protected airspaces contained within controlled airspace? . Does the upper limit of the terminal airspace coincide with the lower limit of the superimposed controlled airspace in order to continuous protection of IFR flight paths? . Is the terminal airspace compatible with the routes and holds that are to be contained within it? . Are both vertical and lateral dimensions of the terminal airspace structure compatible with aircraft flight profiles? . Have obstacle clearances been taken into account while determining if both vertical and lateral dimensions of the terminal airspace structure compatible with aircraft flight profiles? . Is the lateral airspace designated to the terminal airspace restricted to the airspace necessary to contain terminal routes (in order not to constrain the operation of non-participating flights? . Is the lower limit of the airspace designated to the terminal airspace restricted to the necessaryairspace to contain terminal routes (in order not to constrain the operation of non-participating flights)? . Is the possibility investigated to fuse adjacent terminal airspaces into one terminal block so as to reduce the operational complexity? . Is flexible use of airspace implemented or envisaged in the design (activation and de-activation of parts of the TMA subject to real-time operational requirements of different airspace users)? . Are buffers incorporated or envisaged in the design with respect to airspace reservations outside the terminal airspace in order to ensure that ATS can provide an adequate margin of safety?
2. Sectors (ref. Part C 6.4.3)
. Are the lateral and vertical dimensions of sectors designed as such that stepped level clearances, especially over short distances are avoided to the extent possible? . Are the protected airspaces surrounding holding patterns included in single geographicallydefined sectors? . Is the design of each sector done in accordance with the design of adjacent, subjacent and superimposed sectors? . Does the design of sectors meet the rationale that crossing points of terminal and/or other routes should not be placed too close to a boundary of a geographically defined sector as so to allow the receiving controller sufficient anticipation time to resolve conflicts? . Is the fact considered that the vertical limits of a geographically defined sector need not be uniform i.e. fixed at one upper level or one lower level, nor need these vertical limits coincide with the vertical limits of (horizontally) adjoining sectors? . Are buffers incorporated or envisaged in the design with respect to airspace reservations outside the terminal airspace in order to ensure that ATS can provide an adequate margin of safety? . Are all potential sector combinations taken into account when determining the sector configuration? . Are the geographically defined pre-defined sequencing sectors designed to encompass the main arrival flows designed with a view to merging arrival traffic progressively as they approach the terminal area? . Is it operationally required that the upper limit of a sector coincides with the lower limit of superimposed sectors in order to provide protection for IFR flights?
