Airspace Data
The check_airspace tool queries 11 FAA data layers in a single call:
- UASFM ceiling — maximum altitude grid from the FAA UAS Facility Map
- Class airspace — B, C, D, E2, E3, E4 controlled airspace boundaries
- TFRs — active Temporary Flight Restrictions (refreshed every 15 minutes)
- NOTAMs — Notices to Air Missions with proximity filtering
- Special Use Airspace — prohibited areas, restricted areas, MOAs, alert areas
- NSUFRs — National Security UAS Flight Restrictions
- Stadiums — stadium TFR zones within 3nm
- FRIAs — FAA-Recognized Identification Areas for recreational flyers
- Airports — nearby airports with distance and type
- Mode C veil — 30nm transponder requirement zones around major airports
- Military training routes — low-altitude military flight corridors
All data is sourced from FAA ArcGIS services and refreshed automatically.
