The paper suggests a possible solution in flight planning using existing flight planning tools provided by the CFMU.</span>
Highlights
Recent developments in airspace design in Europe aim towards complete withdrawal of airways and using an airspace that is defined solely by waypoints of various nature
The conditional routes (CDR) activation is published by an Airspace Management Cells (AMC) in a form of Airspace Use Plan (AUP) and Update Use Plan (UUP)
Considering the existence of Europe-wide Free Route Airspace and a withdrawal of the whole route system in Europe, a problem rises for flight planning purposes and for flexible use of airspace
Summary
Recent developments in airspace design in Europe aim towards complete withdrawal of airways and using an airspace that is defined solely by waypoints of various nature. Such airspace tends to be more effective than the conventional routebased system but inevitably loses some of the means the old system provides in an area of adjusting the traffic flow and smooth cooperation between civil and military users of the airspace. A different measure has to be taken in order to ensure such segregation. This measure has to provide flight planning tools for aircraft operators that ensures distribution of information about activated temporary segregated area (TSA) and temporary restricted area (TRA) in a clear way. This article focuses only on operational air traffic (OAT) as it is the most common and most affected by changes in the route system and route availability
