Potential advantages
- Regular structure allows replication of airspace design
solutions throughout a region
- Common operating procedures throughout a region
- Elimination of crossing conflicts between cruising
aircraft.
- Two easily identifiable populations – “stable” (low
monitoring), “transition” (higher monitoring)
- Multiple routes facilitate traffic distribution and rerouting
around reserved areas
Further investigation
- Improve model of aircraft mass
- Investigate use of joining/leaving lanes to separate
climbing/descending/cruising aircraft
- Apply suitable flow management algorithm
- Operational feasibility
- Rerouting around reserved areas
- Sectorisation, workload and capacity
- 2020 traffic
