Ilmailun uudet kieltoalueet voimaan 28.5.2015
The Finnish government has, on 21 May 2015, issued a decree on four new prohibited areas for aviation. Three of the areas are located in Helsinki (Kruununhaka, Meilahti and Munkkiniemi) and one in Naantali (Luonnonmaa). The new prohibited areas extend to a height of 150 m above ground or sea. The changes enter into force on 28 May 2015. The existing prohibited areas for aviation (Loviisa, Olkiluoto and Kilpilahti) remain unchanged. Any aviation activities within these areas are prohibited. In addition to conventional flight operations, aviation also encompasses the flying of remotely piloted aircraft and model aircraft.
For special reasons, however, Trafi may grant permission for flying in a prohibited area. Application for permission must be submitted to Trafi at the latest 7 days before the activities are intended to start.

EasyVFR versio 3.60.2 on julkaistu
The latest version of EasyVFR, version 3.60.2 was released on 9th of April. This version has some major new features and is the next step in our ever continuing innovation process! Please allow us to name just a few of this release’s highlights:
– New menu system for quick access and rough air operations.
We reworked our menu system and replaced it with a combination of icons and text. The result is a fast and responsive control center which makes it a breeze to quickly command EasyVFR, even in rough air and high workload situations.
– Significant performance improvement
We managed to speed up the map rendering significantly, resulting in a very noticeable performance improvement.
– German Traffic Circuits
EasyVFR now supports the use of the OpenAir based German Traffic Circuits definitions. Fly ’em now as they were meant to be flown!
Please feel very welcome to drop us a visit at the Aero next week – hall A6, booth 015, and fly safe y’all!
