How close airspace gets before it turns yellow, then red. Tight: red ½ nm / 300 ft / 1 min, yellow 1 nm / 600 ft / 2 min · Normal: 1 nm / 500 ft / 2 min, 2 nm / 1,000 ft / 4 min · Wide: 2 nm / 1,000 ft / 4 min, 4 nm / 2,000 ft / 8 min. Exact numbers are under Detection below.

BUFFER SET

Slow

Fast

Now: SLOW. Fast doubles the sides and the height. Auto: aircraft that cruise under 150 kt always use Slow; faster aircraft use Fast in cruise (above 140 kt) and Slow below 130 kt for the approach; you are told each time it changes. Ahead stays in minutes.

Auto follows the sun where you are: the 3-D buildings dim from sunset to dark, and towns and roads glow at night. Airspace, alerts and traffic stay full brightness.

Advisory use only. PILOT3D is a situational-awareness aid. It is not a certified navigation system, not an approved instrument, and must not be used as a primary means of navigation, terrain avoidance, or airspace clearance.

Airspace, terrain, airport and frequency data may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate. GPS position and altitude from a consumer device can be wrong. Always rely on official charts, current NOTAMs, ATC, and certified aircraft instruments.

The pilot in command is solely responsible for the safe and legal operation of the aircraft. Use of this app is entirely at your own risk. The developers accept no liability for any loss, damage, injury, or violation arising from its use.
