Hello to all,

on Sunday I made a flight from EDSO to EDRW. I planned the flight with SkyDemon on a "real" computer (Microsoft Windows 10 as OS). I noticed, that I had to make my way around the Frankfurt CTR along Mainz. North of it, I became aware, that there is an airspace C beginning at FL 65 - as you can see in the picture below:


As I was flying and passing by the Frankfurt airspace, I looked at the SkyDemon on my Android tab. It was very confusing, since there was nothing to be seen about this airspace.


The only airspace there was the Class E, as you can see, and even up to FL100. The maps and the app were completely updated, so there should have been no difference compared to the ones on my PC. Just imagine what could have happend if I climbed higher than FL 65...

Since I am a new user to SkyDemon, it may be sure possible that I forgot to make some special preferences in the app settings. But nevertheless, this was a dangerous moment for me and I wouldn't have expected something like this.

Can you tell me either what I have done wrong or what else the problem could be?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards, Tobias

Hi Tobias
Check – Settings (Cog wheel icon) > Navigation Options > Vertical Filter. For illustrative purposes, let's assume that you have this value set to 4000ft. What this means is that warnings for airspace more than 4000ft above your current height will be suppressed. If you then commence a climb which brings airspace above you to within 4000ft above your current height, warnings will no longer be suppressed and will appear as usual. You can, of course, set this value to any height of your choosing.

Hope this helps.


Mike
