Free Route Airspace (FRA):
A specified airspace within which users may freely plan a route between a defined entry point and a defined exit point, with the possibility to route via intermediate (published or unpublished) way points, without reference to the ATS route network, subject to airspace availability. Within this airspace, flights remain subject to air traffic control.
FRA Arrival Connecting Point:
A published NAVAID/Significant Point to which FRA operations are allowed for arriving traffic.
FRA Departure Connecting Point:
A published NAVAID/Significant Point from which FRA operations are allowed for departing traffic.
FRA Entry Point:
A published NAVAID/Significant Point from which FRA operations are allowed.
FRA Exit Point (X)
A published NAVAID/Significant Point to which FRA operations are allowed.
FRA Intermediate Point:
A published NAVAID/Significant Point or unpublished point, defined by geographical coordinates or by bearing and distance via which FRA operations are allowed for all traffic.
FRA Connecting Route:
One or more segment(s) connecting SID end point (or other departure procedure) with FRA Departure Connecting Point, or FRA
Arrival Connecting Point with STAR Start Point (or other arrival procedure).
|
|
|
Eligible flights are all flights that are intending to operate within the vertical and horizontal limits of NEFAB FRA or above FL 285 in DK-SE FRA as specified in ENR 2.2 in the national AIP. This includes arriving, departing and transiting traffic.
|
|
|
Note 1: During FRA procedures the flight plan shall in other respects be filed according to the instructions in AIP, ENR 1.10 and in Flight Plan Instructions.
|
Note 2: IFPS does not accept DCT routings through restrictive airspace between published vertical limits during the periods issued by AUP/UUP.
|
Eligible flights should flight plan according to the table below.

LÄHTEVÄ LIIKENNE / DEPARTING TRAFFIC
|
|
Access to FRA for departing traffic is via a FRA Departure Connecting Point.
|
Depending on the aerodrome there are different requirements as described in AIP.
|
-
a SID Final Waypoint,
-
a specific connecting point linked to an aerodrome according to the RAD, Appendix 5,
-
if required, the last point on a FRA Connecting Route as described in ENR 3.3,
-
if no suitable SID is available or there is no requirement for a connecting point, a waypoint within a required distance from the aerodrome according to the RAD, Appendix 5.
|
SAAPUVA LIIKENNE / ARRIVING TRAFFIC
|
|
Exiting FRA for arriving traffic is via a FRA Arrival Connecting Point.
|
Depending on the aerodrome there are different requirements as described in AIP.
|
-
a STAR Initial Waypoint,
-
a specific connecting point linked to an aerodrome according to the RAD, Appendix 5,
-
if required, the first point on a FRA Connecting Route as described in ENR 3.3,
-
if no suitable STAR is available or there is no requirement for a connecting point, a waypoint within a required distance from the aerodrome according to the RAD, Appendix 5.
|
|
Flight plans should only be filed within 3 NM of the common outer lateral NEFAB FRA boundary when entering or exiting FRA.
