Airspace Characteristics Development of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Restricted Airspace Distribution Development of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA)：Airspace is flexibly shared by different airspace users according to their specific demand Fragmentation of airspace use should be reduced with highest efforts. Development of Flexible Use of Airspace in China 35 temporary routes established after Olympic Games since March 2009. Flight delays reduced by 2% in relevant airports in Pearl River Delta(PRD) area, when V17 and V18 temporary routes open to civil flights particular for the city pairs from PRD to Eastern China. Temporary routes are playing a very important role during big events and bad weather. Development of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Temporary Routes：shared use of airspace between civil aviation and other users Temporary Routes Route W Route X Route V (For Both (Part of W (Only For Routes For Both Domestic Domestic & Domestic & Int’l Flights) Int’l Flights) Flights) Development of Flexible Use of Airspace in China On Aug. 1st, 2012, active release mechanism of temporary routes established, facilitating the shared and flexible use of temporary routes Route X Percentage 20% of Route V Percentage Total Air- Route Length in China 650 routes, of which temporary routes are 130 Development of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Benefits From Use of Temporary Routes Fuel Saved & Carbon Emission Reduced NO. of Flights involved (in thousand) & (both in ten thousand tons) Distance Saved (in ten thousand kilometers) between 2009-2013 in China between 2009-2013 in China Fuel saved Movements Used Emission Reduced Distance saved Development of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Perception and Understanding Improvement Problems to Management Mechanism deal with Improvement Management Tools Enhancement Future Planning & Prospect of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Mutual Understandings & Supports Close Communications & corporations Other Civil Users Aviation Proper Motivation Policy International experience Future Planning Prospect of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Increased Utilization of Temporary Routes Where Integration Optimized Flexible Use necessary with flight design by purpose and possible planning Future Planning Prospect of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Increased Utilization of Temporary Routes Daytime Nighttime Weekend Holiday Temporary Temporary Temporary Temporary Route Route Route Route Future Planning Prospect of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Mechanism of Information Sharing on Use of Temporary Routes Airspace Users Data Sharing Integrated Information System Occupancy Level Route Other Designator Time Restriction Future Planning Prospect of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Vital Role in Airspace Optimization Single Route to Airspace Blocks Updated Concept of PBN-based Technology Airspace Use Dynamic & Flexible Operation Free Flight Concept Future Planning Prospect of Flexible Use of Airspace in China PBN-based Flexible Operation RNP10-RNP4 RNAV-Enroute Future Planning Prospect of Flexible Use of Airspace in China PBN-based Flexible Operation RNP1 RNAV-1 RNAV-1 RNAV-1 RNAV-1 RNAV-1 RNAV-1 RNAV-1 RNAV-1 RNAV-Terminal Future Planning Prospect of Flexible Use of Airspace in China PBN-based Flexible Operation RNAV-Flight Procedure Future Planning Prospect of Flexible Use of Airspace in China Flight Training Agricultural Search & & Forest Operation Rescue Low Altitude Airspace Air Aerial Sports Photo Air Traveling Thanks!
