INTRODUCTION The growth of aircraft movements during the days of the event points to a need for greater capacity and efficiency in the provision of air traffic services (ATS). A great event brings with it new demands and a 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 implementation of an extensive, clear, objective and feasible planning. Thus, ensuring maximum performance of ATS services, management of air traffic flow (ATFM), defense and security of air operations and management of Brazilian airspace and, so, minimizing potential impacts of the expected increase of air traffic.

Through decades, Brazil has consolidated a leading position in air traffic management (ATM), not limited to investments in new equipment and fa-

DESCRIPTION OF EXCLUSION ZONES

Brasília (DF)

Although smaller, impact on air traffic flow is expected for approaches to runway 11L. Planning in air traffic flow management, with the change of runways operation pattern, and the quick action of air traffic control organs will reduce the effect of their activation.

Depending on the runway in use at the airport, there may be some delay in departures. The solution designed to maintain constant flow is a schedule of takeoffs sequencing.

DESCRIPTION OF EXCLUSION ZONES

Rio de Janeiro (RJ)

With the activation of the area, airspace capacity around the city will be reduced in 52%. Then, it will be necessary to develop the approach to both airports as if they were only one that is what we call single sequencing.

Thus, we have designed a specific plan to the city of Rio de Janeiro’s air network to be run during the Confederations Cup.

DESCRIPTION OF EXCLUSION ZONES

Fortaleza (CE)

Impacts will be pretty reduced to runway 31, the most widely used at this time of the year. However, during the activation of the area and depending on the runway and direction of the curve after takeoff, the impacts observed reach departure points to all sectors of the TMA Fortaleza, but specific actions as it refers to airspace management will reduce delays in departures.

DESCRIPTION OF EXCLUSION ZONES

Recife (PE)

The approaches to runway 18, the most widely used at this time of the year, will not be impacted, however the RED AREA complicates all instrument approaches to runway 36.

The determinant wind of the runway in use will be monitored in order to optimize the use of the most favorable runway. The runway 18 is used in 97% of the time.

RESERVED AREA Area called WHITE, delimited by the union of the following lines: arc of a circle with 40NM radius centered at 08°08’11”S 034°55’38”W (VOR REC), joining the coordinate points 07°51’52”S 034°18’47”W and 08°47’58”S 035°01’34”W, line segments joining the coordinate points 08°47’58”S 035°01’34”W, 08°58’26”S 035°07’56”W, 08°41’03”S 035°35’14”W and 08°31’20”S 035°29’11”W thence following the arc of a circle of 40NM radius centered at 08°08’11”S 034°55’38”W (VOR REC) to the coordinate point 08°00’29”S 035°35’11”W, line segments joining the coordinate points 08°00’29”S 035°35’11”W, 06°51’00”S 034°47’00”W, 06°56’43”S 035°25’48”W and 07°51’52”S 034°18’47”W, coincident with the lateral limit of the TMA de RECIFE and volume of responsibility overlapped from the surface to FL145.

DESCRIPTION OF EXCLUSION ZONES

Salvador (BA)

There will be no significant impact on the approaches to runways 10 and 28, when the area is active, however, there will be impact on independent takeoffs regardless of the runway in use, taking into account that the departure sector of Salvador is located precisely in the RED AREA zone.

The reduction of the effects generated by this problem will result from the use of radar by air traffic control organs and from a program of takeoffs sequencing on the part of the air traffic flow management.
