Airspace & no-fly zones
Weather ≠ airspace clearance. Here's how to check both.
UAV Meteo is a weather tool — it tells you whether wind, visibility, precipitation and space weather are favorable for flying. It does not currently pull live no-fly zone, TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction), or controlled-airspace data. A safe pre-flight check requires both a good weather window and confirmation that you're legally allowed to fly in that airspace at that time.
Use one of the official tools below, appropriate to your region, before every flight:
United States
- FAA B4UFLY — Official FAA mobile app for airspace advisories near your location.
- FAA UAS Data Delivery System (map) — Authorization areas, facility maps and airspace grid data.
- LAANC providers — Request near-real-time airspace authorization in controlled airspace.
European Union
- EASA drone rules & U-space — EU-wide regulatory framework; check your national aviation authority for local geo-zones.
United Kingdom
- UK CAA Drone and Model Aircraft Registration & Airspace — Official UK CAA drone registration and airspace guidance.
Canada
- NAV Drone — NAV CANADA’s official drone airspace planning tool.
General / worldwide
- AirMap (by Airbus) — Third-party airspace intelligence platform used by several drone apps.
- SkyVector — Free aeronautical charts to cross-check controlled airspace boundaries.
Why we don't show live no-fly zones yet
Reliable, continuously updated airspace and NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) data typically requires a paid commercial feed or a government API with usage restrictions, unlike the free, keyless weather sources this site is built on. We'd rather send you to the authoritative, always-current official source than show a stale or partial map. This is something we may revisit for a future version.
Already have a NOTAM to read?
If you've retrieved a NOTAM from one of the official sources above and want help understanding it, try our NOTAM reader — it decodes the Q-line, item fields, and common contractions into plain English. It's a decoder for text you already have, not a live NOTAM feed.
