Amendments to Airspace During World Youth Day
2
INTRODUCTION The growth of aircraft movements, expected during the course of World Youth Day in 2013, signaling the need for prompt service and efficiency in the provision of air traffic services (ATS). A great event brings new demands and, with them, the greater need for planning, making it imperative to maintain the security, fluidity and efficiency aspects already present in the care provided to air traffic. The work required to achieve excellence begins with the careful execution of extensive planning, clear, objective and feasible. Thus, it ensures maximum performance of ATS services, management of air traffic flow management (ATFM), the

Through the decades, Brazil has consolidated a leading position in air traffic management (ATM), not limited to investments in new equipment and facilities, but going beyond, developing proprietary processes, emphasizing the specialized training

When an airport is declared coordinated, it means that every flight intention will be contingent upon obtaining ATC SLOT for landing or takeoff. The coordination of airports will take place from July 14, 2013 to August 4, 2013. The ANAC will allocate SLOT for regular commercial flights (international and domestic), no regular commercial flights (international and domestic) and flights of delegations. The CGNA will be in charge of allocating SLOT for Heads of State, VIP and General aviation. To register and know the procedures for obtaining an ATC SLOT, the user should visit the

AIRSPACE RESTRICTIONS During the event, we will be visited by tourists from all over the world, businessmen, Heads of State and Government, sports officials, personalities from different fields and international press. Following the safety criteria adopted worldwide in events as important and great as World Youth Day and keeping the level of the air traffic services provided, FAB has created exclusion zones (reserved, restricted or forbidden) in certain portions of Brazilian airspace with different sizes and levels of access. The safety and operational impact, among others, were the criteria adopted for the creation of exclusion zones. The safety of the Pope, authorities, aircraft and facilities and constant concern to reduce the operational impacts for users of Brazilian airspace guided the location, size and levels of access of those areas.
ple, aircraft carrying the Papal Entourage, authorities, commercial aircraft operating regular domestic and / or international general aviation, military use, air defense , transportation of personnel and / or materials (civil or military) aircraft related to public safety, SAR aircraft and aircraft ambulance. The excluded areas are located in the lower airspace of flight information regions (FIR) and within the terminal control areas (TMA) of the locations where the Pope visits occur, ie, Rio de Janeiro and Aparecida (SP). The validity of these restrictions occur according to the schedule of the Pope, being described in the table below. Outside these periods, the use of the airspace back to normal. In addition to this explanatory booklet, all periods will be provided and activated by NOTAM.
Permits for entry in segregated airspace depend on the nature and intentions of the flight, for exam-
