THE MAP

The full picture, free forever.

Not a simplified hobby map. The same airspace a manned pilot would brief, filtered down to what matters below 400 ft. No account needed to look.

Boundaries with the vertical limits that apply to each one.

Aerodrome traffic zones
ATZ · MATZ

Civil and military, from the surface upwards.

Transponder and radio zones

Where mandatory equipment applies.

What is actually in the air over the site, coloured by height. The helicopter at 800 ft is in no NOTAM.

Masts and power lines
BETA · THE THINGS YOU HIT

Chimneys, water towers and turbines too, with conductor spans drawn as a corridor. Not yet dependable, and it says so when it has nothing.

There when you need them, one tick away.

BEYOND THE ZONES

Airspace is not the only thing up there.

Every UK drone map draws the same restriction zones from the same official dataset. Two layers here do not come from it, because the hazards they cover are not published as airspace at all. One is solid; the other is honest about not being, yet.

LIVE MANNED AIRCRAFT
The helicopter at 800 ft is in no NOTAM.

Aircraft broadcasting on ADS-B, drawn as arrows pointing along their track and coloured by height: red below 1,000 ft, amber to 5,000, blue above. Click one for its callsign, type, height and rate of climb. It updates every ten seconds while the layer is on.

It shows what is broadcasting and being heard, which is not everything flying. A light aircraft without a transponder, and often military traffic, will not be there. Treat it as a second pair of eyes, never as a clearance.

MASTS AND POWER LINES BETA
A survey at 90 m meets a conductor, not a TMA.

Masts, communications towers, chimneys, water towers, wind turbines and pylons, with transmission lines drawn as the corridor to stay clear of rather than a hairline you can miss. One county view holds hundreds of them.

Beta, and honestly so: the public OpenStreetMap query service refuses our requests often enough that this layer regularly has nothing to show. When that happens it tells you, rather than letting an empty map read as clear ground. It is also contributed data rather than a survey - a structure can be missing and most do not publish a height.

WATCHED AREAS

Airspace changes. You will know.

Watch a site and it is re-checked against the latest airspace every time you open the map. A new restriction over somewhere you fly regularly raises an alert on your dashboard.
