GM1 SECTION I — (b) CONTROL AREAS ED Decision 2020/008/R GENERAL (a) When the lower limit of a control area is above 900 m (3 000 ft) mean sea level (MSL), it should coincide with a VFR cruising level as specified in the tables in Appendix 3 to [Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 923/2012](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32012R0923&qid=1618924474203). (b) In a given control area, the lower limit may be established non-uniformly. (c) The selected VFR cruising level of the lower limit of a control area should be such that expected local atmospheric pressure variations do not result in a lowering of this limit to a height of less than 200 m (700 ft) above ground or water. (d) In a control area other than one formed by a system of airways, a system of routes may be established to facilitate the provision of air traffic control.
