To create a new Control Zone, click on the "+" icon in the Zones tab. This will lead you to
the subsequent screen; proceed by the steps outlined in the images and tables below:
STEP 1 - Define your area
You can define your area
using one of the following options:
- Select an officially registered GeoZone or upload a file to create a new
zone
- Create a buffer around an existing zone
- Draw a custom zone directly on the map
STEP 2 - Fill in the details of the new zone
Provide the core characteristics of the zone you
are creating, including its name, vertical boundaries, and altitude reference. These
values determine how the zone is identified and how it interacts with monitored
airspace.
AGL stands for 'Above Ground Level',
indicating the height of traffic above the ground at that precise location.
AMSL, or 'Above Mean Sea Level', signifies altitude above the average sea
level. The distinction between AGL and AMSL is influenced by multiple factors,
including location, temperature, and sea level pressure. For manned traffic the
standard is AMSL, for unmanned AGL.
STEP 3 - Set individual monitoring preferences for that zone
Define what types of air traffic you
want to monitor and how you'd like to be alerted. This step lets you tailor the
surveillance settings of your zone to match your operational requirements.
