Airspace Configurations

Airspace configurations define how an ARTCC's airspace is divided between its sectors.

Sector Assignments

A sector assignment contains the following fields:

  • Owning Sector: the ERAM sector that owns the assigned airspace. A sector can only be used once within a configuration, either as an owning sector or as assigned airspace.

  • Assigned Airspace: a list of airspace owned by the owning sector, in addition to the owning sector's own airspace.

Remaining unassigned airspace may be assigned to a sector assignment by clicking its double arrow button.

All airspace must be assigned before a configuration can be saved. Excluded sectors do not appear as unassigned airspace.

Assigned Airspace

Assigned airspace can be one of the following types:
