Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA) is an airspace management concept that aims to make more efficient use of airspace by accommodating both civil and military airspace users. It involves temporarily segregating airspace for military use when needed for safety or training, while also establishing conditional routes to supplement the existing air traffic service route network through this temporary segregated airspace. Sudan has established a civil-military cell and procedures to coordinate airspace use between civil and military authorities according to this flexible use concept. This includes modifications to the shape and usage of the prohibited area P10 as well as establishing new RNAV routes and revising airspace usage.

What is Flexible Use of

Airspace (FUA)?
An airspace management concept.
A methodology of capacity management.
Airspace should not be designated as either
purely civil or purely military airspace.
Airspace should be considered as one
continuum in which all users requirements
have to be accommodated to the greatest
possible extent.
Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA)
 Due to the increasing density of air traffic,
the availability of airspace becomes even
more important. Therefore, it is no longer
regarded as civil or military property, but as
a continuum, which is allocated in a flexible
way and always on a temporary basis- to civil
and/or military users according to their
requirement.
Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA)
 FUA means the availability of airspace for
military purposes, which is temporarily
segregated for reasons of flight safety, and
flexible ATS routes (conditional routes) for
general air traffic. These routes supplement
the existing ATS route network and lead
through temporary segregated airspace
(TSA).
Conditional Routes
 A non-permanent ATS route or portion
there of which can be planned and
used under specified conditions.
 A conditional route may be of more
than one category, and those categories
may change at specified times.
Category 1 conditional rout
(CDR1):
CDR1 routes are available for
flight planning during times
published in the Aeronautical
information Publication (AIP).
Category 2 conditional route
(CDR2)
CDR2 routes may be available for
flight planning. Flight may only be
planned on a CDR2 in accordance
with conditions published daily in
the conditional route available
message.
Category 3 conditional route
(CDR3):
CDR3 routes are not available
for flight planning. Flights
must not be planned on
these routes but ATC units
may issue tactical clearances
on such segments.
Application of FUA in Sudan
 In order to apply FUA Civil/Military Cell has been
established to satisfy the needs and requirements for
both civil and military sides.
 HSWS TWR is connected to ACC with Hotline , screen
with the same system as Khartoum ACC.
 The joint civil-military cell is responsible for
establishing the procedures and measures required for
applying the FUA, and the procedures are attached to
the LOA BTN CIV/MIL.
Application of FUA in Sudan
Arrangements has been made
for MIL. ATCOS TO have the
same training as civil ATCOS
to reach a common
understanding.
Military area P10
 shape and location of the prohibited area
P10 have been deeply modified.
It is now divided into 3 parts:
P10 A, P10B P10 C
Both volumes P10A &P10C are no longer
prohibited cause it can be used above FL 285

Training Activities (P10B)
 To meet the training requirements of the Sudan air
force, sufficiently large portions of airspace are
kept in reserve for military priority use (P10B).
 According to the (LOA) military airspace user
opens this airspace and makes it available to other
users for those periods of time during which no
military activities are taking place.
 Sudan Registered military air traffic is to be given
priority in the utilization of published TSAs.

LETTER OF AGREEMENT
 The purpose of this agreement is to
define the policies and procedures to
be applied between Civil Aviation
Authority (SCAA) and the Military
Aviation Authority to maintain and
improve flight safety and to promote
the flexible use of airspace (FUA)
within Khartoum Airspace.
Current Network
New RNAV routes network
 Main goals for the airlines:
Save flight time and fuel consumption by
reducing distance.
Have several options for flight planning.
Improve flight plan adherence by
formalizing direct routes usually cleared by
the controllers.
Satisfy most of the requests of the airlines.
19
New RNAV routes network
 Main goals for Sudanese ATCOs:
Decongest hotspots as much as possible.
Split bidirectional routes by creating
unidirectional routes as much as possible.
Formalize direct routes usually cleared by
the controllers.
Have a network that can answer almost all
requests .
20
First step of Implementation
42 new RNAV routes added
to the existing conventional
network.
12 are unidirectional routes.
RNAV routes above FL285.
21
Conclusion
 Achievement of civil/military coordination
 Withdrawn of Muglad HSR 11 (AXOTI / KAFIA)
 Reduction of Damazin area HSP 8 from 40 NM to 20 NM
 Permission to fly above fl 285 over P10A – P10C
