Which Is The Format?

CAD.txt:

• Format [ICAO AIRPORT],[RATE/H] ex. LEPA,33.
• Each line has an airport with it's value.
• It is possible to create groups of airports with a wildcard on the last 2 digits of the ICAO. ex. (All Germany) -> ED**,10.
• Use # as the first character for a comment.
• Avoid empty lines.

volumes.geojson:

• Here volumes are included to later use them as sectors. To pass the vatglasses data into the required form, it is possible by using this converter: VATGLASSES-CDM-CONVERTER
• As SIDs and STARs are not considered, therefore, for better planning sectors should not be defined below at FL145 (If sectors are around departure/arrival ariports) and/or APP sectors not recommended to be included.
• MinFL, MaxFL and capacity are a must to have correctly defined airspaces.
• Lateral limits should be defined as Multipolygon (Like Vatspy data).
• To check data by vertical limits, the following website is created (Data from the main branch is used): AIRSPACES-MAP sectors.txt
• Format <SECTOR Name>:<CAPACITY>:<Volumes> example: LECB-CCC:12:LECB-CCU1,LECB-CCU2,LECB-CCL1,LECB-CCL2.
• Capacity: capacity is the "maximum simultaneous acft for each airspace" known as "Peak". If we don't have this information we can do: ( max acft per hour x average airspace time ) / 60. - Example: max capacity 30 p/h, average airspace time 15min (meaning aircrafts stay an average of 15min in the airspace): (30x15)/60 = 7.
• To "disable" airspaces, it is possible by setting capcity 999.

Please, check examples already submitted before send the request.
