SPECIAL USE AIRSPACE
 Restricted Areas (EDRs) mainly include military training
terrain; extend from the ground up to varying altitudes, and are
predominantly active Mon - Fri and in some cases permanently.
 Specific restricted areas with the additional TRA (Temporary
Reserved Airspace) serve military exercise flights. These areas
are active Mon - Fri, their vertical limits are variable, and the
lower limits are partly below FL 100. They are established for
uncontrolled VFR flights in single and two seat combat jet
aircraft. Military aircraft are not separated from each other.
 Danger Areas (EDD) exist over the North Sea and the Baltic
Sea and should be avoided in the interest of safety.
 See AP/2A for listing & effective times.
