Sustainable development of civil aviation is associated with the end of the block confrontation between East and West, which is directly related to the reduced use of military aviation. The modern military aircrafts are engaged in international air traffic in strict compliance with the requirements of each member state of the EU and Eurocontrol. Ensuring enough freedom to fly through the airspace of European countries depends on the equipment of the military aircrafts, the available military air traffic management infrastructure, the adopted rules and procedures for flight operations, and the training of the pilot and navigational staff. By providing adequate freedom to use airspace creates prerequisites for successful implementation of tasks in overcoming the consequences of disasters, accidents and catastrophes. With the use of area navigation and implementation of new airspace structures was put into action the concept proposed by Eurocontrol - the Concept of Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA). Combined with facilitating access to the aeronautical information of member states of Eurocontrol, opportunities are being created to conduct research into the use of airspace by military aircrafts. Through comparative study may identify best practices to inspire the creation of conditions for improving the interaction between civil air traffic service units and controlling military units in coordinating the use of airspace by military aircrafts. This study proposes criteria and approaches to assess the possibilities of using the airspace of member states of Eurocontrol by military aircrafts. Based on the results obtained, recommendations can be made to improve the legislation in determining the conditions for use of the national airspace by military aircrafts. The analysis stands conclusion that there are conditions to improve the possibilities of using the airspace of Bulgaria by military aircraft. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
