AirAware answers one question for anyone working under or in the air: what is in the column of air I am in, and what am I allowed to do here. Eight layers, each switched on its own, plus a UAS flight planner.

New in 0.8: the UAS No-Fly layer. The FAA's National Security UAS Flight Restrictions under 14 CFR 99.7: the military bases, Coast Guard stations, national laboratories, dams and nuclear sites no drone may fly over at all, from the surface to 400 ft above the ground. The whole country is one download kept on the phone and fetched again only when the FAA's list changes. Each area is a red ring with a light fill and the facility's name; part-time areas are orange, pending ones gray. Tap one for its page: the prohibition in plain words, the facility and base, who runs it, where it is, and the point of contact the FAA publishes with it. When you are standing inside one, the pinned status line says so. Show at (fifty miles by default) and 3D are under the row's arrow.

Version 0.7 was the same layer submitted for ATAK 5.8 only, to photograph; it was not published.

Pick the one matching your ATAK-CIV version, sideload it, then load it in ATAK's Plugins manager. Everything in AirAware is advisory: it is not a substitute for current charts and NOTAMs, and it is not a clearance.
