Echo is controlled airspace, though it does not need a clearance, any warnings about it or even it showing on the map is for me rather annoying. It would be a nice feature to not only choose between controlled and on the uncontrolled airspace showing but in addition to deactivate Echo. Maybe this feature already and I just don't find it. Best regards

Airspace E is an airspace where a mix of VFR and IFR is very likely, and yes you are free to enter this airspace without clearance or even any radio contact, but once entering this airspace there are restrictions on visibility and distances to clouds. So for flight planning and awareness during the flight this is essential information. The option to switch warnings ON or OFF must be enough. W‌hat is the next step in hiding essential information...? I hope SD will encourage a certain minimum level in safety, just my concern as both a VFR and IFR pilot. Hello, I‌ fly in Switzerland: mountains and valleys. This means that we are constantly going from G to E and back, when one climbs to pass the mountains, theft dive into the valleys. This can happen 20 times an hour on a typical sight seeing flight in the Alps. Cheers, Alexis‌
