Thinking - Airspace Design and Development

Airports have seen an unprecedented increase in air transport movements over recent years requiring the revision of operational Air Traffic Management systems, noise compliant routings and their integration into the existing ATC en-route network.  The airspace within which these routes are contained is a finite resource and often it has to support a diverse set of users – commercial, military, general aviation and leisure.  Usually the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is responsible for the national airspace arrangements and each state determines the airspace configuration suitable to meet its own aviation policy and regulation.  In the UK, the CAA has published a CAP 725 which sets out the process for sponsors to follow when change proposals are being considered.  Cyrrus has the expertise and experience to research, design and progress even sophisticated airspace change proposals from conception through to implementation.

Because Cyrrus offers the following features and benefits:

• Personnel who have significant experience of working in regulatory departments of aviation authorities responsible for airspace arrangements;
• Cyrrus can provide a ‘turn-key’ solution for an airspace change that is compliant with national regulatory requirements;
• Personnel who have experience in the implementation of various airspace changes;
• Successfully managed major airspace change proposals in the UK including consultation material and formal application documentation;
• Completed a review of the national airspace structure of a leading African nation, optimising traffic flows between key cities.
