NATS Unclassified AIRAC 07 March 2013
Introduction
The FAB United Kingdom & Ireland Standard Route Document (SRD) has been designed to assist aircraft operators in constructing UK and Irish
portions of flight plannable routes. The route listings contained in the FAB UK & Ireland SRD should be considered as ‘preferred’ routeings and
are not mandatory, however the routes contained in this document are promulgated to identify optimum routeings for operators with due regard
for the ATC system.
Route descriptions, as listed in the AIPs of both countries remain unchanged however details of restrictions applicable to certain routes are also
contained in this document.
The FAB UK & Ireland SRD is issued in line with the AIRAC cycle.
How to use this document
The routes are presented alphabetically by airfield ICAO designator or UK/Ireland entry point in straight forward ‘look up’ tables. Any restriction
and/or additional information relating to a route entry is indicated in the ‘Remarks’ column. This gives a note number which should then be
referenced in the rear of the document. Reference may also be made to applicable RAD restrictions. Details of these may be found on the CFMU
NOP Portal at https://www.cfmu.eurocontrol.int/PUBPORTAL/gateway/spec/index.html. Some routes have mandatory guidelines, such as those
connected with North Atlantic traffic schemes and this information is reflected in the notes. Where MC is referred to in the Min Level column,
this denotes Minimum Cruise and is to be considered as the lowest useable level of all the airways along the specified route.
