We have improved the airspace information for Brazil on the website by proccessing 90% of the total dataset used for our premum clients. Check it out at:
The intention is to show, in detail, the complexity of the airspace for this region, considering both visual and instrumental rules, combined in a sigle interactive map.
Furthermore, we made sustantial progress in retrieving aeronautical data from this region, not only by using the aviation authority’s API, but also by parsing the AIXM 5.1 files.
Our methodology is classical, yet very powerful. We use VBA language to fetch information from the different sources and store them in sheets to then build a desired format: JSON, XML, CSV, etc.
