1 — INTRODUCTION
Effective 11 March 2010 the airspace structure
in the eastern part of the Amsterdam FIR has been changed. The rationale
of these changes is a required change in the ATS route structure.
The cross-border project AMRUFRA (Amsterdam-Ruhr-Frankfurt) aims to
optimise the traffic flows from/to the international aerodromes of
Amsterdam and Frankfurt. This is achieved by realigning some traffic flows
through the current Nieuw Milligen TMA D and the temporary reserved
airspace TRA 12 and 12A.
One such traffic flow is designed for outbound flights from airports
located in the Amsterdam FIR. The new eastbound ATS route is situated
south of the current Amsterdam CTA East, through the northern part of the
current Nieuw Milligen TMA D.
Another traffic flow is designed for outbound traffic from
Frankfurt/Main airport. The new westbound ATS route is situated through
the southern part of the TRA 12 and 12A.
2 — CHANGED AIRSPACE STRUCTURE
The following ATC airspaces will be effected by these changes:
- Amsterdam control area East (CTA East) is divided into CTA East 1
and CTA East 2;
- Amsterdam control area South 2 (CTA South 2);
- Nieuw Milligen terminal control area B (TMA B);
- Nieuw Milligen terminal control area D (TMA D);
- Nieuw Milligen terminal control area E (TMA E);
- Schiphol terminal control area 1 (TMA 1);
- Schiphol terminal control area 5 (TMA 5);
- VFR area Lelystad;
- Transponder mandatory zones (TMZ), see AIC-A 07/08 revised 28 JAN
10.
The new airspace structure is shown in the figure below, without TMZs
and TRAs.
