2.2.4 Free Route Airspace General Procedures

2.2.4.1 Free Route Airspace (FRA) Concept Definition

FRA is a specified volume of airspace within which users may freely plan a route between a defined entry point and a defined
exit point, with the possibility to route via intermediate (published or unpublished) waypoints, without reference to the ATS route
network, subject to airspace availability. Within this airspace, flights remain subject to air traffic control.

FRA enables airspace users to fly as close as possible to what they consider the optimal trajectory without the constraints of a
fixed route network structure.

2.2.4.2 Area of application

FRA procedures are applicable in the Jeddah ACC South-East Sector (ENR 2.1) of Jeddah FIR between FL300 and FL600. Please
note that outside of the FRA, published ATS routes remain applicable.

2.2.4.3 Flight Procedures

2.2.4.3.1 General requirements

Navigation:RNAV 5

Communication:DCPC (Voice)

Route adherence:Fly directly between waypoints. Any deviation from the track
between waypoints must be done with ATC clearance.

2.2.4.3.2 Contingency
In the event of Communication, Navigation or Surveillance failure, the aircraft must seek an alternative ATC clearance or follow
the published contingency procedures.

2.2.4.3.3 Enroute frequency change methodology

a) VHF air-ground communication in the South-East sector is covered by different stations (ENR 6).

b) To maintain continuous direct communication between the controller and polit, the pilot must change frequencies along the route
(refer to Table 1 of this section).

Sample phraseology: SVA783 on 132.9, FL360 DCT to XXX01.

c) The pilot must also maintain listening watch on the next frequency as the secondary, and/or any adjacent frequency as indicated
in table 1.

2.2.4.3.4 Routing in FRA

a) The following standard routings (refer to Table 1) apply for traffic in the FRA.

b) FPL must include routes via adjoining ATS route before the Entry waypoint and
after the Exit waypoint.

c) Segments between waypoints must be indicated by using “DCT” (direct) notation.

d) Waypoints along the enroute may be used to indicate speed and level changes.

to exit the FRA and join a published ATS route.
