Airspace on your flight computer


The easy way to put airspace data on your Flytec 6030 or
Brauniger Compeo+


I've written about how to get airspace before here:

http://ozreport.com/17.003#0

And you can read about it here: 
http://flytec.com/software.html#air

But I wanted to give you the easy way to do it step by step (for the US first):

1) In the US go here: http://www.maddyhome.com/ctr/

2) Use the standard Google Map controls or the "Select zoom region" control to
view an appropriate area you plan to fly.

3) Use the "Select map region" (the square box in the upper left hand corner)
tool to select the desired airspace sections.

4) Scroll down in the middle scroll bar until you see the OpenAir button under
Download Data. Click on the OpenAir button to download the airspace data file to
your computer.

5) Click Ok to Open with Notepad (you may have to save it first and then open
with Notepad and save as a txt file).

6) Save file with the txt extension (automatic when you save from Notepad).

7) Open the saved airspace data file with OpenAir2faf program that you
downloaded earlier to your computer found here:
http://flytec.com/software.html#air. If you didn't download it earlier, do
so now.

8) Convert the air space data file from text format to faf format.

9) Copy the new faf file to your SD card that you'll keep in your flight
computer into the CTR folder (create this folder if it doesn't exist).

10) Put the SD card back into the flight computer and go to the Menu, SD Card.

11) Select the file name of the air space faf file that you just created.

With the SD card loaded into the 6030/20, the instrument will search for the SD
card for the 100 closest CTRs and load them into the 6030/20 Airspace menu. As
you fly from one location to another the 6030/20 will update the list of active
CTRs from the SD card. The active CTRs are shown on the map page and the usual
alerts and distance to CTR are shown when flying near CTRs. If you fly within
the warning distance of a CTR the 6030/20 will give notice in the Information
Field. Pressing the i key at anytime will bring up the Info Page which will show
the CTR info for the 5 (3 on 6020) closest airspaces.

If you want airspace for other countries, you can go here:
