Activate Airspaces

[benniAvia]

Hi all,

So, Enroute does show relevant NOTAMs, can it also show the Airspace Use Plan (AUP), so that e.g. all the non-active restricted or prohibited areas don't clutter the map view?

How can this be done please?

Regards!

@benniAvia The feature that you request is not available. We do not have an open, reliable data source to provide this information.

Just to collect the information, maybe it is then possible one day:

In Germany, there is WebAUP, that can show the airspace activation in the Webbrowser:
https://ais.dfs.de/pilotservice/briefing/aup/aup_edit.jsp

It seems that skydemon found a way to show AUP data for the following countries:
Poland, Sweden, Czechia, Austria, Norway, Slovakia, Finland and Bulgaria.

Eurocontrol.int might be the data source, we should have a closer look:

Thank @charlylima , appreciated.

@kebekus Any thoughts?

BTW, one compliment, Enroute has this fav feature where the text always aligns, there was another EFB that my co-pilot was using, and half the time he was trying to read upside down!

@benniAvia @charlylima I am sorry for the late answer -- my job was pretty intense these days. I think there is a lot that we can do with Eurocontrol data. The main issue to get access to the API. Looking at the Eurocontrol web site, I see that the API is available commercially. It is however unclear if Eurocontrol will grant free access for our non-commerical project.

I believe this is very interesting, but I do not have the time to enquire and start negotiations. If one of you is interested in doing that...

Hello there Stefan and Charly,

I could potentially try and do that, however, since I am not officially part of Akaflieg-Freiburg, are you okay if I write to them on behalf of you?

Regards,
Ben

@benniAvia Thank you for your offer to help, which I greatly appreciate. Please go ahead with my blessings and consider yourself part of the internationally distributed team of volunteers that develop and run our non-commercial app. Should it come to the point where someone needs to sign a contract or formally declare that our project is not-for-profit, then I would ask the president of Akaflieg Freiburg to do that.

What we would need is a free API access to the European AIS database, as described here:
