XI. Locate airspaces
To avoid an airspace violation, you can upload a database of airspaces with an OpenAir file format to
your instrument.
Here are some tips regarding airspaces :
- Airspaces are regularly modified (about once per month). We recommend you to check the
version of file you are using and keep updated.
- Knowledge of aeronautic rules as well as preparing your flight are essential for your safety,
and for an easy understanding of what your instrument is showing
- Temporary forbidden areas can exist. They are signaled through a NOTAM (Notice To
Airmen) or Sup AIP. They’re usually available on your government website.
- Each country has its own rules, especially for VFR flights. Take note of local rules before
taking-off.
- Even if your instrument is able to handle thousands of airspaces, we highly recommend you
to fine-tune your OpenAir file. Editing the file can be done with any raw text reader software.
Fine-tuning the openair file can increase your instrument’s autonomy, and can ease the
reading of the MAP screen.
