Airfields and control zones (CTR)
Military areas
Prisons and critical infrastructure
Nuclear power plants
Protected nature and wildlife areas
Energy and gas infrastructure

Using the map, you can quickly check restrictions before each flight and plan accordingly. Failure to comply with applicable regulations may result in fines or other legal consequences.
