Active airspace

The status of Prohibited/Restricted/Danger airspace can be displayed on top of all maps. Place a tick next to Active Airspace to make them visible.

Active Airspace colour key:

Using Active Airspace

• Double-tap the map to display all airspace information above that point.
• The lower and upper limits of each airspace is displayed in the right-hand column of a list item.
• All controlled airspace will be listed.
• The QNH forecast region will be listed. Tap the > symbol in that line to request an updated QNH for that region. This procedure works even if that region does not appear in your flight plan – or even if you do not have a flight plan open.
• The FIA and frequency can be found here.
• Any prohibited, restricted or danger (PRD)
• Tap an entry in this list to access information (where available – e.g. QNH) and also highlight the boundaries on the map for ten seconds. PRD areas will show Planning status (RA1 or RA2; there are no RA3’s at present) and a direct link to relevant ERSA page where the PRD will be highlighted in blue.

NOTAM Airspace

From time-to-time, special airspace areas will appear on the map. These are also known as Temporary Restricted Airspace areas (TRA)s.

In Australia, one example is the Low Jet Route (LJR). These are routes flown by RAAF fast jet aircraft below 5000’ AGL. AvPlan’s systems will decipher the NOTAM and display the route on the map.
 

MILITARY Airspace

Military airspace is activated by NOTAM, but is not displayed as a TRA; it is displayed per the Active Airspace colour key details at the top of this section as ‘Active’, ‘Non-Active’ or ‘Check’ depending on available NOTAM information.
