The Phased Introduction ofFree Route Airspace
into DK/SE FAB
Free Route Airspace in DK/SE FAB airspace
Airspace User Forum 2012
Pontus Bengtsson NUAC
“A specific airspace within which users shall freely plan their routes between an entry point and an exit point without reference to the
ATS route network.In this airspace, flights will remain subject to air traffic control”
Free Route Airspace in DK/SE FAB airspace
2001 Eurocontrol 8 State Free Route Airspace Project
2005 New ATM system implemented in Sweden (Thales)
2007 New ATM system implemented in Denmark (Thales)
2007 Free Route Airspace Sweden (FRAS) project
2006 First PM
Background
2009-2011 Implementation of FRAS Phase 1-4
2011 Free Route Airspace DK/SE FAB project
2011 Implementation of FRA DK/SE FAB
2009 Implementation of FRA in Lisboa and Shannon airspace
Step 1: Implemented April 2009Swedish UIR N61°>FL285 – onlyhorizontal entry/exit
Step 2: Implemented May 2010 Whole Swedish UIR >FL285only horizontal entry/exit
Phased Implementation – Five Steps
Free Route Airspace in DK/SE FAB airspace
To a large extent a flight planning exercise. Gives a possibility to evaluate MIL Ops concept and gain experience of impact on ATC systems, adjacent countries etc. Enable deviation from Doc. 4444 recommendation for a point every 30 min/200 NM.~30 flights/day affected.
Gives a possibility to the concept in a medium density environment.Allows X-border dct as ATCC ESOS/MM is within one FIR but two different AoR:s with separate FDP:s.Estimated 500 flights/day
Step 3: Implemented Dec 2010 Swedish UIR N61° >FL285including climbing/descendingthrough “FRAS Area Floor”
Step 4 : Implemented May 2011 Swedish UIR >FL285including climbing/descendingthrough “FRAS Area Floor”
Phased Implementation – Five Steps
Includes traffic to/from “Major TMA AD” and the “medium density environment”. Estimated 1800 flights/day.
Free Route Airspace in DK/SE FAB airspace
Gives an opportunity to evaluate access to FRAS area for climbing/descendingtraffic from non “Major TMA AD”. Estimated 700 flights/day.
Step 5 : Implemented Nov 2011 Danish FIR & Swedish UIR >FL285including climbing/descendingthrough “FRAS Area Floor”
Phased Implementation – Five Steps
Full implementation in DK/SE FAB AirspaceIncludes traffic climbing/descending through FRA Area Floor. Allows X-border dct as EKDK ACC/ATCC ESOS/ATCC MM is within one FAB but has separate FDP:s.Estimated 2300 flights/day.

ASM Denmark
Free Route Airspace in DK/SE FAB airspace
D-1 Preplan:Denmark has CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3. D-1 pre-planning with regard to availability to CDR are done according to the FUA concept. Closure of TSAs will be managed via CIAM, which generates a “reject” to AOs. “Anchor points” published around TSAs, which makes it possible to flightplan around TSAs
Day of Operation:In activated TSAs OAT operations have priority and GAT cannot penetrate.When TRAs are active FL285+ GAT can be coordinated through via restricting OAT operations in levels or areas.
ASM Sweden
Free Route Airspace in DK/SE FAB airspace
The entire Swedish FIR is covered with MIL exercise areas with the exception Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö TMA
MIL exercise areas are normally available all levels with two limitations:
• Strategic agreement withAir force normally avoids
certain areas during peak hours
• ATS Routes betweenSthlm – Gbg - Malmö TMA and
Sthlm – Oslo TMA
ASM Sweden
Free Route Airspace in DK/SE FAB airspace
D-1 Preplan:Sweden has CDR1 and CDR2. D-1 pre-planning with regard to availability to CDR are done according to the FUA concept. Major traffic flows are not CDR2.
Day of Operation:30 min prior to activation of a MIL exercise area ATCC is informed about the request. This information is put into the ATC system and made available to the controllers. This 30 min prior notification enables ATC to “clean up the airspace”.
Priority Rules:In an activated MIL exercise area Mil has priority except for traffic on ATS-routes that penetrates the area (in FRA environment along an available ATS-route)
These flights are up to coordination how to fly through the area. Agreed maximum of 20 NM in total – will not exceed what is available via ATS route.

Horizontal Connectivity
Free Route Airspace in DK/SE FAB airspace
Cross border within DK/SE FAB:It is not required to insert FIR BDR point between Köpenhamn FIR and Sweden FIR/UIR.
More or less the same ATC system in Denmark and Sweden but the contents in the FDPs are local (EKDK/ESMM/ESOS). Messages exchanged via OLDI.
Cross border to/from DK/SE FAB FRA Area:Required to insert FIR BDR point between DK/SE FAB and neighbouring airspace (due to CFMU Path Finder).
Vertical Connectivity
Free Route Airspace in DK/SE FAB airspace
• ADs connected to “non Major TMAs”
• ADs connected to ”Major TMAs” being Stockholm, Göteborg Malmö/Köpenhamn/Halmstad, Östgöta and Oslo/Farris TMA
FRA Departure/Arrival Transition Point for ADs connected to “non Major TMAs”•SID/STAR final/initial waypoint is Transition Point to FRA operations or•if no suitable SID/STAR a point within 25/50/100 NM from ADFRA Departure/Arrival Transition Point for ADs connected to “Major TMAs”. Flightplan according to description in AIP•either via SID/STAR final/initial waypoint•or via “transit routes”.
Two categories of aerodromes:
Vertical Connectivity / Transit routes for dep from ESSA
Via NOSLI SID•NOSLI – N850 – ABAMA – dct or•NOSLI – N850 – TONSA – L87 –VIBAR – dct

FRA in Sweden on trial basis until November 2013, in Denmark no
such restriction
Next step
2013 New Safety Assessment and Impact Study prior to decision
to permanent FRA DK/SE FAB
Decision whether to keep ATS routes above FL285 or not
Common FRA Area with neighbours?
