Solution #33 — Free Route through Free Routing for Flights both in cruise and vertically evolving above a specified Flight Level

Free routing is the ability of an airspace user to plan or re-plan a route according to user-defined segments. A User Defined Segment is a segment of great circle connecting any combination of two user defined or published waypoints.
Free Routing Airspace is an airspace defined laterally and vertically, allowing Free route with a set of entry/exit features. Within this airspace, flights remain subject to air traffic control.
Elements to determine the lower limit of FRA will be provided by the SESAR validations.
