2. Airspace Alarm
Once you come too close for comfort an airspace alarm
will sound. It gives you a red banner at the top where
you can read all about the airspace in question and it
will highlight the airspace in question. It will also draw
the line to the closest point of the airspace and it will
give you a sound alarm continuously.
You still get to choose to turn this alarm off for:
. Today - until next takeoff,
. 5 minutes - user selectable in Menu > Settings >
Warnings,
. Mute - continue to display everything but stop the
sound alarm.
After you have pressed Mute you can still Ignore this
airspace alarm.
3. Helpful Navboxes
There are three airspace related navboxes which will give you a good overview of the airspace situation
if you are familiar with what they are displaying:
1. "Nearest airspace - Horizontally" gives you the distance from your position to the nearest position of an
airspace where you are not horizontally inside (i.e. you are not below this airspace yet).
2. "Horizontally nearest airsapce - Altitude" gives you the altitude difference towards the horizontally
nearest airspace. The altitude difference is negative if you are below horizontally nearest airsapce. It is
positive if you are above and "Inside" if you are about to hit the lateral borders of the airspace in
question.
3. "Nearest airspace - Vertically" gives you the altitude difference towards the airspace above or below
the glider. The value is negative if you are below the airspace. It is positive if you are above, "Inside" if
you are already inside an airspace and "N/A" if there is no airspace at your location.
In addition to the airspaces there is also a very useful Action which can be assigned to any Navbox. It is
the action "Highlight nearest airspace" and it is assigned to the "Nearest airspace - Horizontally" by
default. If you touch a Navbox which has this action assigned to it, Oudie 3 will highlight the airspace in
question. It will link the glider with the airspace and display the distance from the glider to the airspace.
