Abstract

A device includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute instructions to receive first operator input and generate layers for a map based on the first operator input. The layers include features to indicate whether an Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operator should or could fly a UAV in an airspace corresponding to an area within the map. The processor is also configured to receive second operator input that specifies a path on the map, for a UAV flight.
