Volcanic Ash Airspace Closures
This page is a sample of a landing site availability matrix. Just because a site is listed here DOES NOT MEAN it is unavailable, under the current procedures only Notamed closures that apply to you and your method of operation will stop you going to a landing site, mainly IFR traffic is affected with VFR traffic often being permitted in the temporary danger areas, or with commercial and public transport operations being restricted due to ops manual limitations.
Commercial Use
This Matrix can be extended to include whatever companies or pilots want; we are currently working on mapping all of the North Sea Oil Rigs, if you would like to discuss commercial use of this functionality please
contact us.

Use of this data is at your own risk, it is intended to save time but is not to be used as a sole source of pre-flight planning information.
