Purpose & Scope
This page and its child pages contain the coding guidelines for the minimum and conditional data for the airspace subjects as defined in PANS-AIM, for both ATS Airspace and Special Activity Airspace.
In PANS-AIM, only ATS airspace is defined:
Airspaces of defined dimensions, alphabetically designated, within which specific types of flights may operate and for which air traffic services and rules of operation are specified (PANS-AIM, Appendix 1 Aeronautical Data Catalogue).
PANS-AIM lists the following types of ATS airspaces:
- FIR/UIR
- CTA
- TMA
- CTR
| Tip | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| In an AIP, all of these types of airspaces are published in section ENR 2.1, except CTR which is published in AD 2.17. You may also find other types of airspaces published in these sections of an AIP ( e.g. OCA, UTA, ATZ, etc.), which are not listed in PANS-AIM. |
According PANS-AIM, the following types of airspaces are considered Special Activity Airspaces:
- Prohibited Area
- Restricted Area
- Danger Area
- Military Exercise Area
- Military Training Area
- Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ)
- Other
| Tip | ||

In an AIP, these types of airspaces (and other types) are published in the following sections:

Coding Examples
The figure below shows a simple example of a restricted area with the designator EAR7.
