Airspace restrictions: where to check

Terasor holds no airspace restriction data. This section points at the authority that does; it does not tell you whether you may fly.

Civil Aviation Safety AuthorityRules and guidance

CASA publishes no map itself and points pilots at verified third party apps, which it describes as guidance rather than authority.

None of these links covers everything. Temporary restrictions and short notice airspace closures, local rules about where you may take off and land, permission from the landowner, and privacy law all sit outside them and need checking separately.

Flight Window is a planning aid, not an authority to fly. It uses third party data that may be wrong or incomplete. A clear display is not permission to fly. Always check official weather and airspace sources before flying.
