Re: Airbox AWARE: cost to run
Trevor Point 1. Remember the boundary generation and subsequent alerts are altitude sensitive. In the screenshot I assume the GPS derived altitude is well beneath the base of L9 at FL65. Point 2.

Re: Airbox AWARE: cost to run
I am really sorry that anyone feels mislead by a product description that NATS and Airbox have always thought was completely clear. The project was always intended and remains committed to providing simple airspace warning functionality at a very affordable cost. The inclusion of the CAA (NATS) char...

I think you and I share the same understanding. I would be particularly interested to hear from John Brady. I think I described the original concept to him before he wrote the article and am very concerned that he would feel in any way let down by his understanding of the product now.
