It isn't quite as easy as that; sporting areas are treated very differently by different countries, there's no standardisation of them, and they range from hazards as serious as winch launching (which we definitely don't want the user to hide) to things like seldom-used airspace divisions that are really only useful for glider pilots. Norway seems to have a mixture of these in ENR 5.5 without differentiating them. Are you saying all of them fall into the category of "first come first served" with ATC? The fact they are omitted in Avinor's own charts is interesting.

If you found them useful, please let us know in what capacity, as we are considering making them available under a special setting. Hi Tim, These areas are made active upon request by pilots on a few minutes notice on a "first come first serve" basis. Other pilots generally will avoid flying through these areas, unless ATC can confirm that they are not active. I thus find it very useful to have these shown in SD and to get a warning on approaching them. There is already a function to show/hide these in the SD airspace setup so i guess you dont need to change anything as long as you get the data from Avinor?
