Even if your flight is Declared, please activate it in the AirShare app when you start operating. This helps other airspace users know what's happening around them, and keeps the airspace safer for everyone.

In the maps on AirShare (web initially), we have now added height restriction values for drones flying near controlled airports.

On the maps, you will now see values showing the maximum height youโ€™re likely to obtain authorisation to operate - unless the runway is not in use or you have an agreement with ATC.

Youโ€™ll see two different height references:

๐€๐†๐‹ ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ
The maximum height the UAV pilot can fly Above Ground Level

๐€๐€๐„ ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ
The maximum height the UAV pilot can fly Above Aerodrome Elevation - refer to picture for further explanation.

When you file your flight in one of these areas, you will be advised of your flight's AAE.

AirShare has been updated to reflect the latest changes to Civil Aviation rules for drones and advanced aviation introduced on 22 December. As part of this update, the following changes are now live:

โžก๏ธ Shielded flight guidance has been updated to reflect the new rules (Web only)
โžก๏ธ Part 101 night flights are now available for approved operators

If you hold an approved Part 101 Night Rating, you can enable this in your AirShare profile (on web) by selecting the Part 101 Night Rating option โ€“ see screenshot below. If youโ€™re accessing the AirShare app on mobile, you can enable this by updating your pilot profile.

With the new Civil Aviation Rules coming into effect on ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ ๐——๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, AirShare is fully supportive of these updates - including the new Part 107 and the introduction of Transport Instruments.

While the rules go live next week, we are currently working behind the scenes to align the AirShare platform with the new changes.

๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ in early 2026 we will:
