Hello Guys from VATEUD!

 

Ok, so I have a quick question about flying in Europe (as I mainly fly in America)...

 

What is the difference between FIR/ARTCC's and UIR?

 

Thanks

Hia,

ARTCC's are called (v)ACC's in Europe

FIR = Flight Information Region

UIR = Upper information Region

(someone correct me if I am wrong)

In RL this Information regions will be controlled by separate ATC units.

UIR = mainly cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] C airspace in Europe now.

Cheers,

Xavier
