Each link below produces an OpenAir file
(.txt) compatible with FlySkyHy,
XCTrack, XCSoar, and other XC apps.
Coordinates are written as DMS with cardinal direction; classes are
Q (Danger, fire and flight guidance),
R (Restricted, NOTAM), and W (Wave Window,
landing guidance).
Situational awareness only — not for sole navigation. Wildfire and NOTAM data are pulled live from BC Wildfire Service / CWFIS / NAV CANADA / FAA TFR (tfr.faa.gov); landing guidance and flight guidance polygons are community-maintained. FlySkyHy keeps only one custom OpenAir file at a time — importing one file replaces any previously imported custom airspace.
Fetches NAV CANADA NOTAM polygons, wildfire 5 NM advisory no-fly polygons (same shapes as the website's red advisory rings — 5 NM from the fire perimeter or a 5 NM disk per fire), and all enabled landing-guidance overlays plus community flight-guidance hazards — one OpenAir file with the same semantics as each section below.
NAV CANADA polygon NOTAMs (CFPS-derived) plus FAA
TFR polygons (USA) — wildfire / mil exercise /
skydiving / glider / UAV / CYR / training / general (Canada), and
regulatory TFR shapes (USA). Canada altitudes use F) /
G) where present; USA TFR exports use
GND .. UNLIM unless detail text is added later. Altitudes
(AH / AL) come from each NOTAM's
F) / G) lines; falls back to
GND .. UNLIM.
For every active fire (BC Wildfire Service for BC; CWFIS for the rest
of Canada): a 5 NM outward buffer of the published
perimeter, or a 5 NM geodesic disk for incidents with
no published outline. These are the
same red advisory rings shown on the website map. Class
Q (Danger) with GND .. UNLIM — fires with
status OUT are dropped.
Every enabled community landing-guidance overlay (from
CONFIG.noLandingOverlays), emitted as
AC W (Wave Window) so apps render them as informational
and don't alarm on entry. Community
flight-guidance hazard polygons (hatched red/yellow
on the map) are included as AC Q (Danger). Use your XC
app's per-class styling to make them outline / shaded. Landing
guidance colours on the map: red = no landing, yellow = restricted,
green = OK to land. Flight guidance: hatched red = hazard, hatched
yellow = caution.
How alarms behave — XCTrack / XCSoar / FlySkyHy will
alarm on Q and R by default, and treat
W as informational. Final behaviour depends on each
pilot's per-class settings on the device.

The map’s Airspace overlay uses bundled Canada and US exports. For OpenAIR files to load into XCTrack, XCSoar, FlySkyHy, or other apps, the Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint Exchange — Airspace for North America is a good place to start: CanAirspace (NAV CANADA Designated Airspace Handbook) and US files (see SoaringData for the latest NASR export).
