News: Aware GPS - Controlled Airspace Warning Device
 Private Pilots will soon have access to an affordable touch screen device loaded with a CAA approved chart which incorporates a definitive controlled airspace database.
The Airspace Awareness Device - AWARE has been designed by the National Air Traffic Service (NATS) and aviation satnav outfit Airbox and offers, for the first time, a low cost 4.3" colour touch screen device that will alert pilots and so prevent them flying into controlled airspace.
Such incidents are a growing problem world-wide with 600 such incidents recorded in the UK alone in 2008. The dangers of flying into controlled airspace, danger areas or restricted airspace are obvious.
The Aware device allows a pilot to quickly ascertain their position and avoid intrusions into restricted airspace using a system of visual and audible warnings overlaid on a CAA chart. Warnings are altitude sensitive and contain all the necessary information such as class, distance, levels etc.
