Adam Arkley 1031024 Posted July 21, 2010 at 09:19 AM Posted July 21, 2010 at 09:19 AM Good morning, Having taken on the task of maintaining the UK's Sector File and ESE File for Euroscope, I have hit a bit of a stumbling block. There are some small changes that have been made to the structure of the London FIR, and these need re-drawing. Rather than take a wild stab in the dark and draw some funny lines on the screen, I am looking to get accurate information on the structure of the FIR. Does anyone know of a place, a tool or a procedure that I can use to find accurate, real information on airspace structure around the UK? Many thanks, Adam Arkley [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Grauers Posted July 21, 2010 at 09:58 AM Posted July 21, 2010 at 09:58 AM In Sweden I belive this is posted in the AIP. But maybe it isn't in the UK then? Otherwise I have some faint memory of someone saying that eurocontrol has a lot of airspace data that was used when making the swedish sectorfile. But I'm not really sure...

Alen Smriko 1034823 Posted August 6, 2010 at 10:13 AM Posted August 6, 2010 at 10:13 AM On the eurocontrol site you can find a tool called Skyview. From what I can see, it contains accurate boundaries. You just need to find a way to re-encode the extracted data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Bergin 931070 Posted August 6, 2010 at 02:01 PM Posted August 6, 2010 at 02:01 PM All airspace, airways, intersections, navaids etc should be defined in the UK AIP - I have used the UK aip on occasions when updating the VATeir sector/ese files when working with delegated areas, etc and while it does take a bit of work to sort them out it is all there.

From what I can see, it contains accurate boundaries. You just need to find a way to re-encode the extracted data. It was my understanding that to get Skyview you need to be part of an aviation/ATC related company and on the register page it specifically says "Access will not be provided to virtual aviation community members" I have to admit, the UK AIP isnt bad, most CTA's, RVAs and pieces of airspace have their cords in there somewhere..

Alen Smriko 1034823 Posted August 6, 2010 at 10:26 PM Posted August 6, 2010 at 10:26 PM If you take some time and try to register on the eurocontrol's extranet, you'll find that anyone can register there. You can even create some fictional organizations. In the Croatian section, you can even find an organization called "GOVERNMENT", based in Split How stupid of me thinking for my entire life that the capital of Croatia was Zagreb...
