2 CHANGES
2.1 ATS routes
Inbounds Amsterdam FIR and westbound overflights from the northeast (N125)
The N125 is moved several miles to the south and is extended westwards. Within the Amsterdam FIR, the N125 runs via ONTAZ – BLUFA – EKNON – SILQI (intersection with N872) to PREXA (intersection with L602). The N125 becomes an RNAV 1 route, to guarantee sufficient spacing from EHTRA15(A).
Outbounds Amsterdam FIR and eastbound overflights to the northeast (M105)
The M105 is also moved several miles to the south and extended westwards. It runs from ANDIK to PABCO and then further in the Bremen FIR/Hannover UIR. Like the N125, the M105 becomes an RNAV 1 route.
New route for inbounds EHAM and EHRD via KUBAT (T200)
The T200 is a new route from KUBAT to BLUFA. It is only available for inbounds EHAM/EHRD, enabling them to route to the beginning of the new BLUFA STAR.
Deleted routes
The P174 and P999 (EEL – TEMLU / OLWOF) are deleted because the connecting routes in the Bremen FIR are deleted.
2.2 Airspaces
EHTRA15(A)
The lateral and vertical dimensions of EHTRA15(A) are changed:
- in the north, EHTRA15 and EHTRA15A are slightly reduced;
- EHTRA15A is extended around 1.5 NM to the south; furthermore the upper limit is raised to FL 315;
- in the south and southwest, EHTRA15 is slightly extended.
Flights on N125, and on RKN 2A STAR (EHAM) and RKN 2G STAR (EHGG) route with 1 NM spacing along the EHTRA15(A). Therefore, these routes are RNAV 1 required!
Upper airspace
PABCO, ONTAZ, BLUFA, PREXA and EKNON are established as FRA Intermediate points for joining/leaving the N125/M105, or for circumnavigating EHTRA15A, in the Free Route Airspace of Maastricht UAC.
2.3 Aerodromes
EHAM - AMSTERDAM/Schiphol and EHRD - ROTTERDAM/Rotterdam
| STAR to Airport | New STAR | Deleted STAR |
|---|---|---|
| EHAM | BLUFA 1A: BLUFA – ARTIP | EEL 1A, EEL 1B, RKN 2B, NORKU 2B |
| EHRD | BLUFA 1R: BLUFA – FLEVO – PAM – KAKKO – DOFMU | EEL 3R |
The removal of EEL 1B, RKN 2B and NORKU 2B STARs makes the holding area NARSO a stand-alone holding area. If a flight has to hold at NARSO, ATC will give vectors or a DCT NARSO.
EHGG - GRONINGEN/Eelde
The SIDs and STARs do not change. However, both the routes after SID end (Bremen FIR) and the routes to the beginning of the STAR (Bremen FIR) do change. See AIP Germany.
