Aware GPS – Controlled Airspace Warning Device
Cet outil relativement peu cher (dans les 400 euros avec les cartes OACI ou Jeppesen) a été conçu par le National Air Traffic Service (NATS) et la société Airbox pour avertir les pilotes des zones diverses et multiples qu’ils doivent respecter en vol. Il est recommandé par le BMAA (équivalent britannique de la FFPLUM) pour éviter les infractions.
