ED Decision 2020/008/R

In determining these arrangements, the following should be applied:

(a)     the locations or areas, times and durations for the activities should be selected to avoid closure or realignment of established air traffic services routes, blocking of the most economic flight levels, or delays of scheduled aircraft operations, unless no other options exist;

(b)     the size of the airspace designated for the conduct of the activities should be kept as small as possible; and

(c)      direct communication between the appropriate air traffic services unit(s) and the organisation or unit conducting the activities should be provided for use in the event that civil aircraft emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances require discontinuation of the activities.
