When I create my pilot log, I always check for airspaces that I fly through and double check to have according actions planned before crossing or also plan B's for non-clearances.
I usually do that with a text marker and mark the airspace class of the planned leg on the left side, to make sure that I don't miss to get a clearance.

What I would suggest asa  new feature is the possibility to include a column called "Airspace class warning" that automatically displays if the planned leg runs through class A, B, C, D airspaces. Probably it is possible to configure which alerts I'd like to receive?
As shown below, a red sqaure with the letter D is shown, if the leg is planned within class D airspace (depending on the altitude and so on)


This would really help me in planning :-)

Thank you very much for thinking about and your response - thanks also for your great application!!

Best regards from LOWG,

Hi,

I‌ quite like the idea.

‌‌Something similar I might find useful, is perhaps highlighting altitude changes in the plog that are required to avoid some sort of airspace. For example, if a leg goes through the lateral limits of airspace, but below or above it, then the altitude on that leg should be highlighted to indicate this.

Yes, seems like a great idea. How do you deal with a leg crossing multiple airspace classes?

Well in this case probably the letters of the airspaces are shown, but actually the most important information is just, if it is an airspace, that needs approval, A, B, C, D ... This would be sufficient.

‌In case of multiple airspaces probably all letters are shown or just a hint, that there are more airspaces behind it?!
