Abstract
The EEC initiated a study in 2007, on request of the Regulatory Unit, with the objective to investigate a possible link between airspace complexity and the applicability of implementing rules.
The objectives of this study were:
– to investigate if it is possible to determine airspace complexity criteria/indicators for selecting the parts of the airspace in which new functions (e.g. data-link) could be mandated; and, if so,
– to make proposals to the RU in terms of complexity criteria/indicators which could be used in implementing rules.
In Part I of the report, an account is given of the review of relevant complexity indicators. In Part II, the results are given of a specific potential application to the analysis of the relationship between the percentage of 8.33 kHz converted frequencies and airspace complexity.
Full report on request.
