Airspace Advisories

Home > Recommended advisories
Explore > Airspaces > Settings

Airspace Advisories add a separate advisory layer on top of Gaggle’s regular airspace tools. They are designed to help you spot temporary or situational activity that may matter for flight planning and in-flight awareness, such as FAA NOTAM-backed drone and restriction advisories where supported.

This feature starts with FAA NOTAM-backed advisories and is designed so Gaggle can support more advisory providers over time.

Where to find advisories

On the Home tab, Gaggle can show a Recommended advisories card when there are active advisories near your current area.

Tap the card to jump straight into the advisory flow for nearby advisories that may be relevant to your flight.

You can also open Explore > Airspaces. The Airspaces page includes an Airspace advisories row under the map preview.

Tap Settings to open the advisory settings screen.

Advisory settings and recommended near you

The main advisory settings page lets you turn the advisory layer on or off and can show a Recommended near you section with nearby items.

From this page you can:

• enable or disable airspace advisories on the map
• review nearby recommended advisories
• choose how categories are filtered
• open category-specific advisory lists

Automatic and custom filters

Gaggle includes two ways to choose which advisory types appear:

• Automatic uses the aircraft type you are flying as a starting point for category selection.
• Custom lets you manually choose the advisory categories and severity levels you want to see.

Depending on your region and available data, categories can include items such as:

• drones
• restrictions
• obstacles
• airports
• runways
• radio and nav
• military
• airshows
• hazards
• other

Severity filters help you decide whether to show Avoid, Caution, and Info advisories.

Map, list, and detail flow

When advisories are enabled, matching advisory areas can appear directly on the map.

If you open a category such as Drones, Gaggle shows a searchable list of advisories. The list can include distance, source, category, severity, and active time window when available.

Tap the visibility button or list item to inspect a specific advisory in more detail.

The advisory detail view can show:

• the advisory title
• category and severity
• source, such as FAA NOTAM
• descriptive text from the source
• active window and any schedule details
• altitude limits when available
• source reference fields such as NOTAM or location codes

Audio cues

If you use Gaggle’s recorder audio announcements, open Recorder Settings > Audio Cues to control advisory announcements.

Advisory audio cues are designed to be conservative. They focus on important advisories such as Avoid and Caution items, and use short spoken messages rather than reading the full NOTAM text aloud.

Sharing with approved drone operators

Gaggle also includes an explicit opt-in called Share with drone operators in recorder privacy settings.

When this is turned on, approved drone operators can receive anonymized advisory flight-activity signals while you are flying. This is not a public raw live-tracking feed.

Drone-operator sharing is intentionally limited:

• it is off unless you choose to turn it on
• only approved drone operators receive the advisory data
• the shared data is anonymized
• it is designed not to include your user ID, name, profile, photo, or full flight path
• you can turn it off again at any time

Important disclaimer

Airspace advisories are an additional awareness aid only.

They are not a certified briefing product, not an official pre-flight briefing service, and not a substitute for official publications, NOTAM checks, airspace review, or normal pilot judgment.

Availability depends on region, provider coverage, connectivity, and the specific advisory source. Always confirm critical information with the relevant official sources before and during flight planning.
