Learn how to use the airspace viewer to see airspaces around you
Airspace Viewer
Explore > Airspaces > Tap the map preview
If you want to check airspaces before a flight, open the Airspaces page and tap the map preview. The page says Tap on the map to visualise airspaces.
Airspaces need the Frequent Flyer or Adventurer plan. The 3D view and community airspace contributions are part of the Adventurer plan.
This opens the 2D Airspace Viewer, where the app shows airspaces under the crosshair.
In the 2D viewer you can:
- Tap anywhere on the map to move the crosshair.
- Swipe the card pager at the bottom to move through airspaces at that point.
- See key details for the selected airspace, including class, limits, and active time when available.
- Use the GPS button to quickly re-center on your location.
If your account has 3D airspace access, the viewer also shows:
- A mini 3D preview in the top-left.
- A 3D action button in the top-right.
Tap the mini 3D preview or the 3D action button to open the full 3D airspace view.
In the full 3D view, you can rotate and inspect airspace geometry in more detail.
In the USA, a small Sectional tile appears at the bottom left of the viewer map. It only shows when your location is in the USA. Tap it to open the Sectional chart, a full-screen map of the US VFR sectional chart around you. The chart covers the area around your location, drawn over terrain. Pan and zoom to read it. Tap the back arrow to return to the viewer. Sectional charts are not offered outside the USA.
The Airspaces page also lists your Official Airspaces, Community Airspaces and Personal uploads, so you can manage the source of the airspace data before opening the viewer. The Airspace advisories section sits above them, see Airspace Advisories.
