The radar control airspace in the Fukuoka FIR was reorganized into two layers separated by FL335. This study focuses on the Kobe ACC and conducts optimization simulations by varying the boundary altitude. Kobe ACC was divided into three sectors based on controller qualifications, and the optimal boundary altitudes were found to be FL315, FL295, and FL335, based on traffic flow characteristics.
