DESIGN OF AIRSPACE STRUCTURES

(a)     Article 46 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 requires Member States to ensure that airspace structures are properly designed, surveyed and validated before they can be deployed and used by aircraft.

(b)     The designation of airspace is an obligation of the Member States, where civil and military national authorities are involved. The designation of airspace should include, but not be limited to, the design of airspace structure, the classification of the airspace and its approval.

(c)      The (possible) certification and oversight of the design of airspace structure activities is left to the Member State discretion, if it wishes so and this Regulation provides only the design criteria that need to be met as laid down in Appendix 1 to Part-FPD.
