How can you customise you’re area of operation when submitting your NATS notifications. Adding an area that’s not your basic 500m radius circle.

Polygon flight reports are available to commercial subscribers only.

More details here:

So we’ll not be offering that as a feature I’m afraid blush When submitting a flight report we default to a 500m circle radius simply because that’s what the NATS app does and because it’s their assumed VLOS value. I see no reason why we couldn’t give you the option to make it a smaller (or …

No, sorry if the post I linked to was not clear.

Users of commercial software applications (usually mapping related), that command a high commercial licence fee to use, are able to submit irregular shaped flight reports to NATS.

Lesser mortals, like us lot, are not 🙂

I noticed that AirMap didn’t update NATS so never explored it’s features further. 🤷🏻‍♂️
