In My Airspace is a simple, low altitude, aircraft monitoring service created specifically for Drone and Model Aircraft (RC) pilots
Are you a UAV/Drone/RC pilot looking to enhance your awareness of aircraft in your vicinity during flights? At InMyAirspace.com, we understand the importance of proactive measures, which is why we embarked on a search for a simple and cost-effective solution.
Unlike other complex and expensive options, such as retrofitting ADS-B sensors or wearing cumbersome utility belts reminiscent of Batman's, InMyAirspace offers a streamlined alternative tailored to hobby RC pilots. We prioritize simplicity and affordability, ensuring accessibility for all enthusiasts.
With In My Airspace, RC pilots in the UK (and expanding soon) can effortlessly monitor their flying field and the surrounding area within a range of up to 20 km and an altitude of up to 5,000 feet. Should an aircraft enter the scanning zone, an instant alert is sent to the pilot's mobile phone and smartwatch, prompting them to open the In My Airspace app. By utilising this app, pilots gain real-time visibility of the approaching traffic, enabling them to take proactive action and mitigate potential risks. This feature is particularly valuable for long-range flights.
Take charge of your safety in the skies with InMyAirspace—your trusted solution for heightened situational awareness and peace of mind during RC flights.

Honestly, We don't care who you are! So, we won't ask you to create an account and we won't keep or share any of your personal data.
Aircraft positions are based off of the reported position of the aircraft at the time the servers receive the data. Without getting to techy, there are a lot of calculations that happen in the background but generally speaking, the reported position should be pretty reliable. Where aircraft positions are calculated using some magic call MLAT, these may not always be as reliable as ADS-B reported positions coming directly from the aircraft themselves. So, you should always fly with caution, even when using InMyAirspace as your "eye in the sky".
It's important to understand that, while the majority do, not every aircraft is equipped with the tech required to transmit it's position data. That being said, more and more are adding this capability as laws change. Where an aircraft doesn't transmit position data, MLAT is used to calculate the position as long as there are a few different scanning stations seeing the aircraft at the same time. Always fly with caution and never assume you will be alerted of EVERY aircraft in your scanning area.
No! One thing we knew when we started thinking about InMyAirspace was, we wouldn't compromise on user privacy. So when you install the app we don't ask you for any personal information at all! Honestly, we don't care who you are! Our goal is to help you fly smarter and safer while maintaining your privacy.
At the moment, the service covers the UK. We hope to expand in the near future.

InMyAirspace is another tool in your flight bag. You shouldn't rely on this service for your complete safety and should still follow normal safety practices while flying. This includes following all relevant laws relating to our hobby. Remember, while most do, not all aircraft transmit position data so you may not receive an alert for every aircraft in your scanning area. Always fly with caution!
