Creating and Configuring Flyzones

1.1 Ground Control – Flyzones Overview

Before you start:
A crucial part of mission planning is defining the airspace in which your operation will take place. Flyzones and their associated buffers allow you to create a clear, compliant, and safe operational plan, helping both pilots and supervisors maintain situational awareness and reduce risks.

1.2 How to Draw a Flyzone

1. From the Live Airspace tab, navigate to your intended flight location by scrolling on the map or entering a location in the search bar at the top left of the screen.

2. Create a new mission by pressing Fly Here.

3. In the menu bar located right of the map, click the Draw Flyzone icon.

4. Choose whether you want to draw a Polygon or a Circle.

5. Click on the map to begin drawing:
   • For a Polygon, click to place each point and double-click the last point to close the shape.
   • For a Circle, click once to set the centre and drag outwards to define the radius.

6. Once drawn, the Flyzone will appear on the map.

1.4 Summary

Flyzones and their associated buffers are essential for defining where and how your drone can operate safely.
By setting the Flyzone, Contingency Volume, and Ground Risk Buffer, AirHub helps you create a complete and compliant operational plan that aligns with both safety requirements and regulatory standards.
