[TVHGC Members] Re: XC Soar paragliding airspace file

P.S. I always carry an A4 printed colour copy of the section of the airspace chart that I expect to be in. It's easier to consult in flight than the full chart... 

I also use spine to upload NOTAMS to XCSoar and could do this mid flight if I had to.

Hi, 

I used the tool on soaringturnpointexchange to generate this file. I (hopefully) set it to show all of the airspace that I needed to avoid on my xc flights...

E.g. I don't often carry an airband radio, so MATZ are normally available to me without seeking permission. 

You must always confirm your electronic versions conform with the air chart and that you can understand what your device is showing you, lest you blow a day avoiding something shown which you could have blazed through! Or of course vice-versa.

I have got a copy of the following airspace file, which appears to be the modified version for gliding that was mentioned at Nev Almond's presentation. Is this correct, and is there an "official" site where updated versions can be downloaded?

http://www.airworks.co.uk/airspace/GBB20150430.txt

As far as I can tell, the modifications are:

MATZ are not marked

Only those restricted areas that apply to gliders are marked

Parachute drop zones are marked as danger areas.

Are there any other modifications that I should be aware of?

Thanks

David
