AO Briefing for “COBRA Central”AIRAC 2203 effective 24-03-2022Objectives and Benefits of the COBRA Central projectThe project “COBRA Central“ reviewed the interface between Karlsruhe UAC and Maastricht UAC inorder to identify improvements for traffic flows, vertical profiles and ATC procedures by changingATC sector boundaries, waypoints and routes. This review considered the evolution of traffic flowsduring the last years, especially after the implementation of H24 Free Route Airspace in the upperairspace of Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and The Netherlands and is closely coordinated with theATC units serving the lower airspace.“COBRA Central” concerns the common boundary between the Karlsruhe UAC Nattenheim,Frankfurt, Fulda, Saale sectors and the Maastricht UAC Ruhr, Muenster, Solling sectors. It is thesecond deployment in context of the COBRA project following the first step “COBRA West” whichwas implemented on AIRAC 7th October 2021.Benefits are achieved by reducing ATC coordination and workload but also by improving routingsand vertical profiles in one of the busiest airspace in Europe, surrounded by military training areas.Benefits are mainly achieved due to the realignment of ATC sector boundaries and the redistributionof ATS delegated airspace as follows: Modified interface between Karlsruhe UAC Frankfurt and Maastricht UAC Solling sectorsimproving the vertical profiles for departures from EDDF. These flights benefit fromoptimised sector sequence allowing more efficient climb profiles. At the same time, the newinterface also reduces ATC workload. Modified interface between Karlsruhe UAC Fulda / Saale and Maastricht UAC Solling sectorsimproving the capacity of the Fulda sector due to redistribution of traffic flows. The mainwestbound flow from Czech Republic toward The Netherlands or The United Kingdom (i.e.VARIK – KEMAD) is now directly managed by the Saale and Solling sectors; thus excludingthe Fulda sector. Modified interface between Karlsruhe UAC Frankfurt and Maastricht UAC Ruhr / Muenstersectors improving southwest / northeast flows along approximate line SUBIX – NVO and alsoimproving the vertical profiles for flights departing from aerodromes within the Duesseldorfarea due to redistribution of ATS delegated airspace.3

AO Briefing for “COBRA Central”AIRAC 2203 effective 24-03-2022FRA Point ASBON (ex COL)ASBON replaces COL as FRA point between MUAC FRA and DFS FRA Cell EDUU West. It is mainlyused by: Southeast bound flights coming from London UIR or from Dutch aerodromes (via NAPROZ739 MISGO) and generally proceeding towards the southwest of Germany, Switzerland,Italy or beyond. Southeast bound traffic proceeding into a more easterly directiontowards the southeast of Germany, Czech Republic, Austria and beyond may use FRApoint TIVUN (ex PODIP / GMH) as described in the next chapter. Southwest bound flights using the updated RAD Appendix 4 segment ASBON DCT ELVET. During nights, ASBON can also be used by northwest bound flights towards London UIR.COL is retained for other purposes in ATS-Routes (e.g. T911). It is however no longer used as FRApoint between DFS FRA Cell EDUU West and MUAC FRA. The following table containsrecommendations on how to change the FRA segments which are currently using COL.ASBON: overflights and DEP EH** southeast boundRecommended segments within MUAC FRA(for details see “MUAC FPL support” file)Recommended segments withinDFS FRA Cell EDUU West(for details see RAD rule ED2277)MUAC FRA Entry Point REDFA REDFA L620 TACHA DCT ASBON REDFA L620 TACHA DCT OTMEC DCT ASBON(when EHTRA12AZ reserved)H24 options ASBON DCT TUSUK DCT RIDSU L607 ABUKAand then (KRH, SUNEG, TEDGO)-these options are clear of FBZ EDR305Z ASBON DCT TUSUK DCT(BATUB, UTABA, KRH, LAMGO)-subject FBZ EDR305Z-MUAC FRA Entry Point LAMSO LAMSO DCT EVELI DCT ASBON LAMSO DCT EVELI DCT OTMEC DCT ASBON(when EHTRA12AZ reserved)Note:TUSUK seems to form a little de-tour, but offers adedicated intermediate point for MUAC, tacticallyused and in future maybe offered as anchor point fora planned cross-border FRA.It also helps KUAC in vectoring through / integratinginto major crossing flows on South-East Axis.MUAC FRA Entry Point TOPPA TOPPA DCT ASBON TOPPA DCT OTMEC DCT ASBON(when EHTRA12AZ reserved) TOPPA DCT AMGOD DCT PETIK DCT ASBON(when EHD09Z reserved) TOPPA DCT AMGOD DCT PETIK DCT OTMEC DCTASBON (when EHD09Z and EHTRA12AZ reserved)Night options (additionally to H24 options) ASBON DCT (EDISA, KRH, KUNOD, UTABA,BATUB)MUAC FRA Entry Point LONAM LONAM DCT ASBONDEP EH** via NAPRO Z739 MISGO MISGO DCT ASBON5

AO Briefing for “COBRA Central”AIRAC 2203 effective 24-03-2022FRA Point TIVUN (ex PODIP/GMH)TIVUN replaces PODIP and GMH as FRA point between MUAC FRA and DFS FRA Cell EDUU West,located closer to the updated boundary. It is mainly used by Southeast bound overflights coming from London UIR or by flights departing from Dutchaerodromes via NAPRO Z739 MISGO. Westbound overflights via MASEK and then towards London UIR (NOGRO, ABNED,GALSO) During nights, additional route options are available via TIVUN towards London UIR.Nearby waypoint GMH will only be used for traffic via TUVTI Z841 GMH (DEP EDLV, EDLS, EHBD,EHBK, EHEH). See also RAD ED2283/GMH for downstream route options within Karlsruhe UAC.As PODIP will remain only on ATS-Route Y867 (for DEP EDDK) without being a FRA point, thefollowing table suggests replacements for the current FRA segments using PODIP and GMH.TIVUN: overflights and DEP EH** southeast boundRecommended segments within MUAC FRA(for details see “MUAC FPL support” file)Recommended segments withinDFS FRA Cell EDUU West(for details see RAD rule ED2285)MUAC FRA Entry Point REDFA REDFA L620 TACHA DCT TIVUN REDFA L620 TACHA DCT OTMEC DCT TIVUN(when EHTRA12AZ reserved)Southeast axis traffic via TIVUN DCT TESGA (now withlower MIN FL245) TIVUN DCT TESGA DCT (BARSU, BOREP, DINKU,KOMIB, OSBIT)MUAC FRA Entry Point LAMSO LAMSO DCT EVELI DCT TIVUN LAMSO DCT EVELI DCT OTMEC DCT TIVUN(when EHTRA12AZ reserved)Southbound traffic towards LS*/LI* (alternativeoption beside shorter routings via ASBON inEDUUNTM1N) TIVUN DCT DODEN DCT GIGET DCT ABUKAMUAC FRA Entry Point TOPPA TOPPA DCT TIVUN TOPPA DCT AMGOD DCT PETIK DCT TIVUN(when EHD09Z reserved) TOPPA DCT AMGOD DCT PETIK DCT OTMEC DCTTIVUN (when EHD09Z and EHTRA12AZ reserved)Connecting routes TIVUN DCT DODEN DCT OMOGI T721 SUNEG(ARR LSZH, LSMD, LSZR, EDJA, EDNY, EDTL, LFSB) TIVUN DCT DODEN DCT/Y853 BOMBI T104 HAREM(ARR EDDM, EDMA, EDMO, EDTY, LOWI, LOWS) TIVUN DCT DODEN DCT FFM DCT UBENO(ARR EDDS, EDSB, LFGA, LFST) TIVUN DCT TESGA Z719 ETOLU(ARR EDDN, EDQ* except EDQG) TIVUN DCT TESGA L603 BOMBI Z120 OLKAS(ARR EDFM, EDRY) TIVUN DCT TESGA Z10 RUDUS(ARR EDDR, EDRZ as alternative option with ratherhuge turn due to other traffic flows/sectors)MUAC FRA Entry Point LONAM LONAM DCT TIVUNDEP EH** via NAPRO Z739 MISGO MISGO DCT TIVUN8

AO Briefing for “COBRA Central”AIRAC 2203 effective 24-03-2022FRA Point KATCE (ex KEMAD L602 / PEXAM)KATCE replaces KEMAD and PEXAM for westbound flights coming from DFS FRA Cell EDUU East(Saale sector) crossing MUAC FRA (Solling sector) and further proceeding towards London UIR ordestinations within The Netherlands.The location of KATCE compared to KEMAD / PEXAM implies a minor route extension of about 2NM.However, the new location helps to realign the boundary between Karlsruhe UAC Fulda and Saalesector so that this flow is no longer part of the Fulda sector. This implies significant improvementsfor capacity which is believed to outweigh the change of route distance.Recommended segments withinDFS FRA Cell EDUU East(for details see RAD rules ED2570)Recommended segments within MUAC FRA(for details see “MUAC FPL support” file)Overflights from LKAA FIR VEXIL DCT KATCE VARIK DCT KATCE VARIK DCT/L602 SODRO DCT KATCEMUAC FRA Exit Point RAVLO KATCE DCT RAVLOMUAC FRA Exit Point MIMVA KATCE DCT MIMVA KATCE DCT SPY L602 MIMVA(when EHTRA10AZ or EHD09Z reserved)Options form Southeast (via LO) ARMUT DCT KATCE LULAR DCT KATCE LAMSI DCT KATCE LASGA DCT KATCEMUAC FRA Exit Point GODOS KATCE DCT GODOS KATCE DCT SPY L602 SUPUR P1 GODOS(when EHTRA10AZ or EHD09Z reserved)MUAC FRA Exit Point LONAM KATCE DCT LONAM KATCE DCT AMSAN DCT LONAM(when EDR302Z or EDR302BZ reserved)MUAC FRA Exit Point SOMVA during nights KATCE DCT WRB DCT SOMVAMUAC FRA Exit Point SUTEB KATCE DCT SUTEBARR EHAM KATCE DCT NORKUARR EHRD, EHGG KATCE DCT RKNARR EHBK, EHBD, EHEH, EHLE KATCE DCT HMM22
