1. Flexible Use of Airspace Civil – Military Collaboration iFLEX Workshop III - Paris

2. Military Airspace Special Use Airspace (SUA) Allocated for military purposes Defined Times Permanent SFC – UNL Variable Utilization Military tend to not consider civilian needs SUAs occasionally subdivided internally  Opportunity to share ‘cold’ areas How do we open the door to sharing?

3. Flight Efficiencies Long haul flights are especially affected by winds Daily and seasonal Jetstream variations The ability to select (daily) optimal flight routes affect fuel loading. Fuel upload affects passenger and cargo flight capacity Long haul flights subject to adverse winds may have to limit cargo and passenger loads to reach destination

4. Military Airspace Requirements / Usage Army Weapons ranges Small volume Ballistic templates usually BLO 17000’ AGL Air Force Close Air Support (CAS) Medium volume Hi-Lo-Hi profile FL200 (or less) and BLO Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) Large volume Variable altitudes, often high (ABV FL400) Air Refueling Orbits or tracks FLs Low to mid 20s depending on tanker

5. Objective Obtain the use of inactive military airspace to allow its use by civilian long range flights.

6. Modes Time SUAs are released to ATC for a period of time. By “Range” In some cases SUAs consist of smaller “range” components that can be inactive Altitude Band Civilian flights are allowed to use one or more altitudes to transit SUA Point Out Tactical permission for a particular flight

7. Coordination Military Plans Manages Informs ATC ATC Coordinates w/ Military Informs AOs (NOTAM?) AO Plans Coordinates w/ ATC

8. Returns on Investment GHGs World Cost AOs Reduced complexity? ATM Goodwill MIL

9. Middle East Example UAE seasonal flight routes Dubai – Sao Paulo
