Vindrose Norsk

Data sources and known gaps

Everything Vindrose shows comes from Norwegian public sources. This page says who, and what we know is missing.

Zone data

From dronesoner.no (Luftfartstilsynet, the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority), which aggregates five bodies:

• AIP Norge / Avinor Flysikring — restricted and danger areas, controlled airspace (CTR/TIZ/RMZ)
• Miljødirektoratet — protected nature areas
• NSM — airborne sensor restrictions
• Kriminalomsorgen — prison zones
• Statistics Norway — population density

The dataset currently in the app

Dataset	NOR_ED269_compliant_geozones_July-2026
Published	July 2026
Zones	4,383 (31 identical duplicates removed)
Format	ED-269, the EU standard for UAS geographical zones

The app always shows the age of the data. We stamp it with the dataset's publication date — not with when we happened to run a build job — precisely so a July dataset does not look like it was updated yesterday.

Known gaps

Nine security areas are published without map geometry. They exist as records in the dataset but carry no polygon, so they cannot be checked automatically against your position. Vindrose warns about them by name instead:

• Sola Air Station
• Bodø quays 1, 2 and 3
• Horten Skipsreparasjoner AS
• Brandalsmyra
• NORDMÆLA (listed twice)
• One record with no name

This has been reported upstream.

NOTAM are not in the ED-269 file. Temporary restrictions are published continuously, and the file contains no time information at all. So always check ippc.no.

Seasonal variation exists only in prose. Some conservation regulations apply for part of the year, but the dataset has no structured time windows. Vindrose reproduces the text verbatim and never guesses whether a ban applies today.

The altitude limits in the file are a placeholder. Every zone is given as 0–300 m with no real variation, so Vindrose does not use them and treats zones as flat.

Weather

From MET Norway (Locationforecast 2.0). The forecast is for ground level and is explicitly not valid at altitude — see the front page for what that means in practice.
