Air Traffic Control
Types of air missions
Airlift Transit Special Normal handling if compliant Special handling in case of
Handling Required GAT vs OAT
STS/NONRNAV (“negative RNAV”)
Use of conventional ATS routes Via VOR/DME navaids Radar vectors
Terminal airspace more challenging

Airspace Management
FUA application
AMCs allocate required airspace
for military use AUP provides routing options to accommodate TSAs Tactical co-ordination improved to release airspace
Air Defence needs
improvement of data exchange RNAV environment requires an
enhanced database
