Hele greia baserer seg på fire fargekoder som følger:


The refined approach involves a safety recommendation (safety information bulletin) by EASA on the basis of airspace zones defined by Eurocontrol. The zones are named after the colour used to indicate them on charts produced by the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC). These are:

•A white zone where normal flight operations apply;

•A red zone ("enhanced procedures zone (b)") in which some volcanic ash may be encountered, but in which EASA considers that flights can take place;

•A grey zone ("enhanced procedures zone (a)") in which EASA recommends two approaches that allow flights under certain conditions;

•A black zone ("no fly") in which EASA recommends banning flights because predicted ash concentrations exceed acceptable engine manufacturer tolerance levels.
