Alerting Zones
Alerting Zones is the function to warn through indications on the map and acoustic alarm about an object, that is entering the defined airspace volume. The purpose is to increase the UAS operator geo awareness and safety for all airspace users. The short video below shows all the functions, which are also described below.
Alerting Zones management panel
To open it, please press the 
icon from the left-side vertical menu. When opening it for the first time, the empty panel will appear. Select the "Create" button to start.
The user is asked to give the name of the Alerting Zone, define upper and lower altitudes in feet, and draw the shape on the map. At the end, please press the "Save" button to finish and register the parameters.
To disable the Alerting Zone, simply click on the 
status field. Click once more to activate it again. As easy as never before! Each parameter can be modified by selecting the button and a small pad with a pencil icon, including the map shape. Obsolete objects can be deleted by selecting the waste bin icon.
Alarm trigger and notification
Alerting Zone colour on the map will change, depending on the actual status: grey will mean it is not active. Yellow will indicate that it is enabled, but there is no alarm. The colour will change to red when there is an active alarm. Additionally, there will be a sound indication. Alarm status will be kept for the whole time when at least one object is inside the zone. It should be noted that the alarm is maintained from the first object entering the volume till the last one exiting it, without giving more details.
