7.5 Airspace warning acknowlegement

When Airspace Warnings is visible and an airspace warning is active, the dialog can be closed

by pressing Close resp. ESC. This has the effect of closing the warning without actually ac-

knowledging the warning.

The warning can be acknowledged by one of the buttons (F buttons) on the bottom of the dialog:

• Avoid xxxxxxxx

• Enter xxxxxxxx

• Disable xxxxxxxx

Near shows the nearest (distance 25km) airspaces in Airspace Info

The general guidelines for using the dialog are:

• Don’t acknowledge a warning if you are not sure which airspace the warning is about.

• Note that the warning system beep only occurs when the warning level increases.

• The warning system is designed to allow circling near an airspace without over-stressing

the pilot with extraneous warnings.

When an airspace region is acknowledged, the region is drawn on the screen without a pattern.

When the aircraft is predicted to enter a SUA region, or it actually enters an SUA region, a warn-

ing is raised, presented as an audio alert and a status message describing the type of airspace

warning, the SUA details (including class of airspace, base and ceiling altitude or ﬂight level, radio

frequencies).xxxxxxxx stimmt?

Acknowledged warnings will repeat after a certain time speciﬁed as the ‘Acknowledge time’ on the

‘Airspace’ page of the conﬁguration settings.

Airspace warning acknowledgements apply to individual SUA regions. If, for example, a glider

enters airspace A and the pilot acknowledges the warning, and shortly thereafter is predicted to

enter airspace B, an airspace warning for SUA region B will be raised.

If you want acknowledged airspace warnings to not be repeated, set a very large value for the

conﬁguration setting ‘Acknowledge time’.
