European Alps Depressurisation Strategy

The document outlines procedures for depressurization when flying over the European Alps. It divides the region bounded by latitudes 43-48 degrees north and longitudes 5-14 degrees east into five colored sections, each with a different depressurization procedure. All procedures require descending to a fixed flight level (FL140, FL160, or FL180 depending on the section) and tracking to specific airports before descending further to 10,000 feet or a minimum off-route altitude, whichever is higher.

EUROPEAN ALPS DEPRESSURISATION STRATEGY

PROCEDURES
- The European Alps represent a critical area for all overflying airplanes. They extend from South-Eastern France through Switzerland, Austria and northern Italy. 24h airports are depicted on the chart with dedicated ATIS frequencies. - The Alps are considered to lie within a box bounded by latitudes 43N and 48N and longitudes 005E and 014E. - The box is divided into 5 sections of different colours, each with a different procedure.

FL180

NORTH OF LATITUDE 46N (pink) - Descend to the North to FL180 - Track as required to LSZH, LFSB, LFST or LSGG - ASAP, descend to the higher of Grid MORA and 10,000ft. SOUTH OF LATITUDE 46N (blue) - Descend to the South to FL180 - Track as required to LFLL, LFMN, LIMC or LIMF - ASAP, descend to the higher of Grid MORA and 10,000ft. NORTH OF LATITUDE 46N (salmon) - Descend to the North to FL160 - Track as required to LSZH, EDDS, or EDDM - ASAP, descend to the higher of Grid MORA and 10,000ft. SOUTH OF LATITUDE 46N (yellow) - Descend to the South to FL160 - Track as required to LIMC, LIME, LIMF or LIRP - ASAP, descend to the higher of Grid MORA and 10,000ft. BETWEEN LONGITUDES 011E & 014E (green) - Descend to the East, North or South to FL140 - Track as required to EDDM, LOWW, LIPZ or LJLJ - ASAP, descend to the higher of Grid MORA and 10,000ft.
