Hi fellow travelers !
Today we’re going to talk about Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA)
WHAT IS IT?
· Airspace is no longer designated as purely “civil” or “military” airspace, but considered as one continuum (sequence) and allocated (attributed) according to user.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Without FUA
• Increase in track miles or operating at flight levels that are not optimum cause:
- Increased fuel burn
- Increased carbon emissions
• Reduction in airspace capacity cause
- Increase in ATC workload
- Increase in cockpit workload
Utilizing FUA Concept
Benefits:
- Reduced fuel burn
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Increase in Airspace Capacity
- Reduction of complexity for ATCOs and Pilots
- … If you want to seach for more information, you can check on ICAO’s website.
- See you next week!
