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 (3 to 20 characters) and a Description (3 to 100 characters).
  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.

To remove a personal airspace, open it from the Personal list and tap Remove. It is deleted at once, without a confirmation. Uploading airspaces needs the Frequent Flyer or Adventurer plan.

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.

Here is a minimal example with a polygon and a circle. Each airspace starts with an AC line. You can end each airspace with a blank line.
