What is SkyVector?
SkyVector is a specialized aviation platform that offers detailed aeronautical charts and flight planning tools for pilots and aviation professionals. The platform provides access to DROTAMs (Drone NOTAMs), which are notices defining unmanned aerial systems operating areas issued by authorized entities such as the U.S. Air Force, Customs and Border Protection Agency, and commercial operators with proper certifications.
The tool includes features for displaying and filtering DROTAMs based on altitude, showing current jet fuel and AVGas prices, and offering comprehensive aviation mapping resources. It serves as a centralized resource for flight planning, airspace awareness, and operational information relevant to both manned and unmanned aviation operations.
