Reading SimpleAirMap:

1. A number e.g. "55" means stay below 5500ft.
2. Underlined numbers are flight levels, treat them as above in good weather (over 1013.25mb)
3. Four digit heights, e.g. 2488 indicate ATZs to stay above (in feet).
4. Decimal heights, e.g. 2.4 indicate zones to stay above (1000's of feet)
5. Avoid solid black bits they are always forbidden. e.g. Danger areas.
6. Avoid grey shaded bits, they are normally forbidden. e.g. Parachute drop zones.
7. Avoid horizonally shaded bits during the week. e.g. Certain danger areas.
8. Areas only activated by Notam are excluded e.g. Hullavington or Hankley Common.
9. This map is derived from uk garmin airpace layers 21 (everyday) and 23 (weekday) with airspace over 6500ft excluded.
10. Remember to lookup NOTAMs before setting off
