Laos Airspace

[Laotse]

Dear Pitr,

you will have directly a few new subscribers, if you could fix the VFR Lao Airspace (Lao People Democratic republic) as seen on Skyvector.com.

Specifically VLD-BAN KHOK special use airspace is missing since a long time.

Parameters as per AIP:
VLD-BAN KHOK
Special use airspace
0 - 3000ft
Warning

Thank you.
Best,
Laotse

Hi, I need source - coordinates. Can you send me it or link?

Hi ...

Be aware that if Airspaces are missing within FIF Word Navigation Database you can import OpenAir or KML format Airspaces.
The how todo is explain in the user guide.

In your case, you can use https://www.alus.it/AirspaceConverter/o ... hp?lang=en , and then select “Laos airspace (OpenAir)” https://www.alus.it/AirspaceConverter/o ... la_asp.txt

Click on it to download on your android device the file related to all Laos Airspaces “la_asp.txt”

As Airspaces importation procedure is not grouped with the other importation features, to
import the Airspace, within FIF, you have to proceed as follow:
- long press on the moving map screen
- select "Nearest"
- select "Nearest Airspaces"
- short press on the three line on the upper left corner of the screen
- select Airspaces to import
Ex select “la_asp.txt”

When importing the airspace, you will have to associate it with “Laos” country code, then it will be done

Have fun

Dear Pietr and Tonio,

thanks for your speedy answers.
@Tonio: sure I am aware of that. After every navigation database update I have to import the data again. Beside that the OPEN-AIP data of Laos is outdated as I had no time to update it - I am the sole contributor to it. I am happy to support the FiF team financially, but then I expect the data to be correct. I will provide the official data of the airspace soonest.
Thank you.

Best,
Laotse

Hi Pitr,

I attach the official definition of the VLD-Ban Khok airspace and a example how it looks like.

Further definition is "Special use airspace - warning".

Thanks.

Cheers,
