Learn how to create and add your own airspaces

Personal Airspaces

Explore > Airspaces > Personal > Upload Airspace

In addition to official airspaces, you can upload your own OpenAir files as personal airspaces. This is useful for local no-fly areas or custom planning zones.

Personal Airspaces 1

To upload a personal airspace:

  1. Open Explore > Airspaces.
  2. In the Personal Airspaces section, tap Upload Airspace.
  3. Enter a Name and Description.
  4. Tap Choose Airspace File and select your OpenAir file.
  5. Tap Upload.

After upload, the airspace appears in your personal list and can be configured like any installed airspace.

OpenAir format: Gaggle imports plain text files in OpenAir format. For a full reference, see the OpenAir format documentation. You can also use tools such as XC Guide to build or validate files.

A minimal example looks like:

AC R \* <- Airspace Class (A, B, C, P, R, Q)<br>
AY RMZ \* <- Airspace Type (ACCSEC, ADIZ, ALERT, etc)<br>
AN My Restricted Airspace Name \* <- Airspace Name<br>
AL SFC \* <- Lower Limit (Surface)<br>
AH 2000ft \* <- Upper Limit<br>
V X=25:51.861N -27:27.669W \* <- Coordinates<br>
DC 0.3 \* <- Draw circle with a 0.3 nautical mile radius<br>
\* <- Empty Line indicating end of airspace information<br>
