Innovative Aspects

The first key innovative aspect of this project is the creation a single platform providing access to air traffic control information in all EU Member States. Currently there is no mobile application providing this information in this rendering at all. Furthermore, there is no single service of any type (website or application or bulletin) providing access to this information in all Member States.

The second set of innovative aspects are related to the properties of the platform selected by the project partners. A mobile application is easy to use, and it provides unrestricted access to information. Information is queried from a central server so the information is always accurate and up-to-date.

As a third innovative aspect, the mobile phone will generate a file of the rendered shapes of controlled airspaces and NOTAMs (temporary controlled areas defined by notices) for download in KML and OpenAir format. Paraglider pilots will be able to use this file in their flight navigation software or device of their choice for regulatory compliance and safety in flight.
