Description

Knowing where it’s legal to fly your drone can be complex. OpenSky is the simplest and fastest way to view drone rules and regulations in the U.S. and Australia. Powered by Google Maps, pilots can find out where to fly their drone, plan a flight with a few quick clicks, check airspace rules and get automated access to controlled airspace (LAANC).

Features of OpenSky include:

Guide for drone flying - Find out where and when you can and cannot fly.

Compliance maps from Aviation Authorities - OpenSky makes it easy to visualize airspace rules tailored to your operation and aircraft; for both commercial & recreational drone operators.

Identify Risks - OpenSky will help identify possible flight hazards in your area like Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs).

Airspace authorizations - Drone operators can automatically request authorization to fly in controlled airspace, often the busy airspace near major cities. In the United States this is called LAANC.

Track your missions - OpenSky will track and manage your past and upcoming flights, notify you of changes to any planned flights.

Great for finding where it’s legal to fly at

So far, this app has seemed to be the best on the App Store for clearly finding where it’s legal to fly at. I’ve used this app in both Australia and the United States and have had great success finding places to fly.

No height limits shown on map

There is no reason not to have the heigh limits in controlled airspace shown in each quadrant on the map. Sure, it might get a bit busy at a certain zoom level but once you're zoomed in significantly, the height limits should pop up so a user can compare multiple quadrant at once - especially because not all flights fit perfectly into the boxes and being aware of the lowest height limit for a mission at a glance is necessary. Tapping each quadrant is stupid. It defeats the purpose of a map. I've asked about this via feedback many times and there isn't even an acknowledgement that it is a good idea nor has there been an explanation for a good reason NOT to implement this. At the very least put a setting for the pilot to enable this feature if desired. Other new features are added each update that are unnecessary but not this fundamental piece of information. If this is changed I'll revise the review.

Overall a pretty good app

This app is good for any drone flyer to have but every time I try to plan a flight it says I need to sign in with Google, but every time I sign in it still tells me I have to sign in. I also could not find how I am able to see the max altitude on the map. I would appreciate help.
