3. RAD process in DFS
Within DFS we strictly adhere to the published timelines in the NM RAD process.
Requests from local RAD coordinators of our four [+1] centers (Bremen, Langen, Karlsruhe, Munich [Maastricht UAC for route related restrictions]) are collected at NRC level and merged as draft ED
Draft version RAD ED is sent to local RAD coordinators one week prior delivery to NM for review and crosscheck
After delivery to NM changes via increment file are only made, if pre-validation shows errors or “un-intended FPLs” occur after implementation.
We support to limit the number of increment changes to the minimum necessary to protect safe operations!

4. RAD process in DFS (2)
We appreciate the CFSPs/AOs offer for early involvement in RAD design in case of complex airspace design projects,
BUT: when requesting cooperation in past, unfortunately both sides are lacking resources!

Creative flight planning with extensive turn rates
Creative flight planning to avoid regulated sectors
Creative flight planning to avoid long transitions for fuel planning
YoYo flights to avoid regulated sectors

9. Way ahead proposal
Set a fixed limit for maximum angle of turn outside of terminal area (e.g. 60° turn)
 This could lead to a significant reduction in RAD restrictions just implemented to avoid such turns!
Limit enroute level changes in number and/or level (e.g. once above division level between lower and upper ATC unit, NO level segments below division level shall be accepted until final descend into destination)
Fly as you file!  when ANSPs agree to force AOs to fly their creative FPLs (even so reducing capacity), maybe these kind of FPLs will be reduced upon feedback from cockpit?
