MUAC versus FABEC

[george C.]

Hi,

Can anyone explain me what is happening in Europe ... or at least the skies over europe...

MUAC is controlling upper area, I presume... but what 's FABEC then ... ( six states ...)

Greetings

muac is working in present. fabec will be started in the near future.

as i understood

well,it's very simple.

MUAC is responsible for ATC above FL250 on the airspace of belgium netherlands,luxembourg and a part of northern germany.

Fabec is a project that involves also france and switzerland (plus the remaining oart of germany) to improve ATC and ATM (i.e. shorter routes,less delays,common systems and so on...)

u can always have a look at FABEC - Home (http://www.fab-europe-central.eu/fab/english/home/index.html)

Andre,

what's not clear from the site is where Eurocontrol fits in once FABEC gets implemented. Is it just a strong collaboration, will it mean an expansion of MUAC's responsabilities, will it be absorbed by a larger organisation ... ?

honestly,I have no idea....:eek:

Isn't Maastricht is a type of FAB already? My guess is the Maastricht area will grow in the future.

Put very roughly, FABEC is about blobbing up civil ACCs and sectors without recourse to sovereign borders or the existing plethora of sectors/coordinations and equipments currently needed. So, I guess MUAC controls something akin to a FAB today. Whether or not FABs are a driver for SES or vice versa is a bit of a moot point but Maastrict's AOR will be subsumed or expanded to meet the future requirement. Hope it works..............

fabec will be started in the near future

Future...maybe.

Near...don't think so.

:hmm:
