- 2Enter flight coordinates or mark the area on the map
- 3Review colour coding: red = prohibited, amber = restricted, blue = sensitive
- 4Check NOTAM notices for temporary restrictions
- 5If a zone is restricted — contact the competent authority for permission
- 6Record the check date and result in your flight log
SkrisT recommends using only official sources — geo-zone data may change.
