      Checking Airspace

      Check airspace advisories and restrictions in the Measure Ground Control Web Portal before heading out to fly

      Understanding the Rules and Regulations

      As of August 2022, LAANC Authorization directly via Ground Control is unavailable. Please use the Google OpenSky mobile application to perform LAANC Authorizations on your mobile device while in the field.
      Please see this article to learn How to Request LAANC Authorization Using OpenSky

      Measure has partnered with AirMap (www.airmap.io) to offer access to global airspace rules, advisories, regulations, and compliance information necessary to safely and legally operate drones. AirMap has partnered with transportation agencies around the world to bring you up-to-date airspace information which can be accessed directly within the MGC Web Portal and MGC Mobile Flight App.

      It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure they are flying within the rules and regulations laid out by the governing body with authority over their flight location.

      The Airspace Map

      The airspace map in the MGC Web Portal (Plan -> Airspace) can be accessed via the menu at any time, or via the Create/Update Mission form by pressing the Verify Airspace button.

      • Selecting optional layers will add or remove additional information regarding the airspace.
      • Clicking the "i" icon will show more information regarding the layer.

      Airspace Advisories

      • Advisories are based on the location of the map.
      • Advisories can and will change over time. Be aware of temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) and NOTAMs for activity that may cause additional airspace restrictions, e.g. emergency response or military activities.
      • For more information on advisories in your area, click Advisories and select the advisory to learn more about it.
      • Users can also select items on the map for more information. A new screen will pop up showing more information regarding the area selected.
      • For areas covered by the LAANC program (blue airspace partitioned into grids), users can use the MGC Mobile App to request authorization.

      Additional Information

      • The latitude/longitude of the center of the map will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the map.
      • The current weather in the center of the map will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the map.
