FRA - FBZ
Stands for
FPL Buffer Zone.
Application
For planning purposes only.
What and where?
FBZs are established around relevant RSAs in order to maintain a minimum distance between the flight planned trajectory and RSA boundaries. Flight plans containing routings passing through an active FBZ will be rejected by IFPS.
Vertical limits: FL095A; except LKTSA 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 (with OAT activity): GND – FL660
Horizontal limits: LKTSA 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 (with OAT activity): 5.0NM
LKTSA 42–49, LKTRA: 5.1NM
NOTAM areas: N/A

How?
Airspace users shall plan their trajectory around airspaces (i.e., restricted areas including FBZs) that are not available for civil operations by using FRA Intermediate points published in ENR 4.1 / ENR 4.4.
The Daily Airspace Use Plan and its updates - EAUP/EUUP - is used by IFPS for flight planning validation purposes and should be considered the main information source to notify airspace users about the status of airspace structures.
The valid EAUP/EUUP is available to airspace users on the NM NOP Portal.
