Why changing the existing StructureWhy changing the existing Structure
• The main reasons:The main reasons:
• 4th RWY Implementation in Frankfurt triggers structure 4th RWY Implementation in Frankfurt triggers structure changes within the Airway structure in the Langen Area changes within the Airway structure in the Langen Area and adjacent areas (Luxembourg)and adjacent areas (Luxembourg)
• Reims ACC extended the airspace responsibility to Reims ACC extended the airspace responsibility to Strasbourg Approach up to the French-Luxembourg Strasbourg Approach up to the French-Luxembourg BorderBorder
• Obtimization of Luxembourg airspace structure for Obtimization of Luxembourg airspace structure for improved Flight profiles and efficiency and less complex improved Flight profiles and efficiency and less complex coordination procedurescoordination procedures

What are the main changes:What are the main changes:• The TMA overhead Luxembourg The TMA overhead Luxembourg
territory will be split in 2 main territory will be split in 2 main segments:segments:
TMA 1A: 2500’ – FL165TMA 1A: 2500’ – FL165(Class D <FL95<Class C)(Class D <FL95<Class C)
TMA 1B: 3500’ – FL145TMA 1B: 3500’ – FL145(Class D <FL95<Class C)(Class D <FL95<Class C)
• The delegeated airspace The delegeated airspace overhead German territory overhead German territory will be extended to the Eastwill be extended to the East

The Class « E » problemThe Class « E » problem
In Class « E » Radio contact with ATC is In Class « E » Radio contact with ATC is not required for VFR Flightsnot required for VFR Flights
However, class « E » is considered as However, class « E » is considered as controlled airspace, IFR traffic is using controlled airspace, IFR traffic is using this airspace and should be informed this airspace and should be informed on on knownknown VFR traffic VFR traffic
Most of IFR inbound flights for RWY24 Most of IFR inbound flights for RWY24 ELLX, are passing through the class E ELLX, are passing through the class E TMA2C (southbound) and TMA2C (southbound) and TMA2E/TMA2F (northbound)TMA2E/TMA2F (northbound)

What ATC suggests to VFR airspace users:
• Use the new allocated class G airspace in TMA1B to respect minimum height above ground
• Be aware of the Diekirch Holding (minimum holding altitude 4000ft)
• Avoid crossing the RWY extended centreline at/above 2500ft• Enable the controllers to be aware of your presence in the
class E airspace (above 2500ft resp 3500ft) by: establishing Radio contact and reporting position displaying your position via XPDR

What are the benefits for VFR airspace users• Respect of minimum heights within uncontrolled
airspace in TMA1B• Enhanced safety via Radio contact and/or XPDR:
IFR Flights are informed about your flight You will be informed about relevant IFR traffic in your vicinity You will be informed about other VFR traffic in your vicinity
