Wave window file(s)
I am looking for a files (airspace files) with published wave windows
on the west coast in GN II format. I would like somehow to create a file which I can use in addition to my nav points. What I would like to see on my iPAQ is a wave windows with its boundary lines and maybe some shade of some sort light color within the window....or maybe someone has a program which would create those files? I also have See You but I don't know if creation of such a window is possible in that program. Any thoughts out there or maybe some help is available? Thanks, Jacek Kobiesa Washington State |

If there are any computer savy folks out there, I'd think there would be
a market for a computer program that would allow airspace files to be created graphically (lines, circles, connect the dots) and then have altitudes assigned to them rather than having to create the files via text. I know there is software that will pull up the MOAs, restricted areas and generate those files automatically, but is there something for a pilot who wants to draw a box around a local skydive operation, etc. that he/she wants to highlight on their heads down display. wrote: I am looking for a files (airspace files) with published wave windows on the west coast in GN II format.

Hi Jacek,
I may have already sent this to you, but below is the file I created for Minden, NV. It is extremely simple. Tip: Note that the first and last point of each area are just slightly different. That causes GN II to draw the lines, but not fill the area with grey.

Hi,
I believe that StrePla allows you to edit airspace data. It can also import DAFIF data and export airspace files in several formats. I used it yesterday to create an SUA file for GNII for the Parowan, UT area. Good Soaring, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com "Gary Emerson" wrote in message . net...

Hi Gary,
I don't think so. I'll look into it. I'm off to go flying for Sat. through Monday so it will have to wait! Good Soaring, Paul Remde "Gary Emerson" wrote in message om...

The Newport-Peace format is easy to use for things like circles and polygons, and allows altitudes to be assigned. Just a text editor will allow you to make simple airspace in a few minutes. It's not something you need to do much of, or very often. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA www.motorglider.org - Download "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" |

It's not something you need to do much of, or very often. For the benefit of anyone wanting to create airspace files, the definition of the format can be found at: http://www.spsys.demon.co.uk/software/USER.AIR And if you need more examples, actual airspace files are available at http://soaring.aerobatics.ws/SUA/NA.html -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA www.motorglider.org - Download "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" |
