What is the

difference

between

Regional and

Non-Regional

ATS Route

Designators?



A, B, G, R - not area

navigation routes

L, M, N, P - area

navigation routes (RNAV)


Routes which form part of the regional ATS

route network:

Known as

“Regional Route Designators”

in ICARD

the network which has been agreed upon by all

parties concerned to form the basis for the

determination of the airspace organization and

the required air traffic services and facilities.

Note: The 'parties concerned' are the Contracting States (both provider

and user) and International Organisations involved in ATS route

planning and implementation.

(Source: Doc 7754, Volume I, EUR ANP, p. V-2, paragraph 11)


Established to enable a majority of flights to operate

along, or as near as possible to, the direct route from

point of departure to destination;

Established to meet the needs of international

operations;

Crosses multiple FIRs and more than one State;

Subject to the formal amendment procedure of the

Table ATS 1 of the Air Navigation Plan (ANP).

Coordination and control of the use of these route

designators are required.

Therefore, ICARD Users may not reserve or release

regional route designators directly in ICARD.

When the decision on a specific route designator

has been made, requests for reservations or

release should be made by email to the following

ICARD Regional RD Coordinators:


For projects developed by States in the Westernpart of the ICAO EUR Region participating in thework of the EUROCONTROL Route NetworkDevelopment Sub-Group (RNDSG):

EUROCONTROL, Tihomir Todorov[[email protected]] OR

EUROCONTROL, Christer Ostlund[[email protected]]


For projects developed by individual States OR

by States in the Eastern part of the ICAO EUR

Region participating in the work of EANPG RDGE

to:

ICAO EUR/NAT Office, Patricia Cuff

[[email protected]]


Information that should be provided:

Route designator;

Route description;

Date of publication and date of implementation;

Other route characteristics; and

Chart showing route, if available.


The ICARD Regional RD Coordinators will review charts and the work taking place at the regional level to ensure that a new route designator is indeed required.

The ICARD Regional RD Coordinators will make the reservation on behalf of the State(s).

A confirmation message of the reservation will be sent to the originator of the request by return email.

The procedure for coordinating regional agreement for routes over the High Seas will be initiated by ICAO Secretariat.


Why are there ‘Requested’ route designators?

the reservations of regional route designators remained

as ‘requested’ until corresponding proposals for

amendment (PFA) were submitted to ICAO.

ICAO Secretariat would process PFA to Table ATS 1

whenever a State officially informed ICAO that a new

regional ATS route was to be implemented.


!

However, COG/38 Decision 38/1 set a moratorium on

the formal processing of PFA to Table ATS 1 of the

EUR Basic ANP from June 2007 onwards, with the

exception of routes established over the High Seas.



H, J, V, W - not area

navigation routes

Q, T, Y, Z - area navigation

routes (RNAV)


Routes which DO NOT form part of the

regional ATS route network:

Known as

“Non-regional Route Designators”

in ICARD

Established to meet the needs of domestic operations

within national airspace, for the areas within which

States are responsible for the provision of air traffic

services;

Established on a temporary or permanent basis, as

required;

Do not begin or end at FIR boundary points.


Are these characteristics applied today??

Supplementary to the basic ATS route network,

therefore not subject to the formal amendment

procedure of the Air Navigation Plan (ANP).

However…

Regional agreement for all non-regional ATS

routes that extend over the High Seas is

required.


ICARD allows ICARD Users to:

Download (RDs Lists) of lists of available and

allocated designators;

Search (Find Non-Regional RD);

Reserve; and

Release non-regional route designators

according to their needs.
