The rules require that the airspaces that intersect the latitude and longitude define the required safety notice and authorization links to provide. Effectively, the top-level status
and authorizationType
are based on the intersecting notices.
The rules also require that any airspace that is within 2 nautical miles be provided as a notice to operators for additional awareness.
Airspace that intersects the latitude and longitude will be represented as a notice
with a distance
of 0
. In the AirHub Portal UI, these are displayed in the "At this location" section. Only these notices contribute to the top-level status
and authoriationType
.
Airspace that does not intersect the latitude and longitude will be represented as a notice
with a distance
greater than 0
. In the AirHub Portal UI, these are separated into a “Nearby” section.
The location briefing is best suited in cases when the area boundary is not known.
All the airspaces that intersect the entire area boundary will be returned as a notice
with a distance
value of 0
. No other notices
will be returned.
Since all of the notices
are intersecting, all of the notices are relevant to the top-level status
and authorizationType
.
The area briefing is best suited in cases when the area boundary is known, and you are looking for specific airspace briefing relevant to the safefy of flight for the entire boundary.
