Airspace to be kept free for aircraft

[Bee Nexen]

Sorry to bother people, I know that I know the answer to this, but I am having a mental block. I have tried searching for the information but cannot find the answer.

There is a mid-air zone that should be kept free for aircraft.  Could someone please remind me?

[Alwin Alcott]

no, every landowner can close, or open, the airspace as he wants, by banlines, orbs and all what more is around to keep other people out.

Only public Linden land is always open for it.

[Bee Nexen]

I know there is no official rule, but I thought there was an unwritten courtesy zone. Such as buildings shouldn't be over a certain height?

[Adamburp Adamczyk]

I'm going to shock alwin and agree with him.

 

only on Linden owned land eg roads/rail/water areas can you reasonably expect "open access".

 

When passing over somebody's land there are no set rules, otherwise the "object entry" option wouldn't be available - it;s up to the indvidual land owners.

[Freya Mokusei]

No such thing. All pilots operate at their own risk.

Buildings can be any height, up to 4096m ASL.

Maybe you heard some optional guidance for some small area (a themed area, such as Blake Sea or Bay City), I can guarantee it never applied to Second Life as a whole.

[Qie Niangao]

A voluntary range of "open" altitudes has been proposed, grid-wide, for at least the past ten years.

Only problem is, every possible altitude has been both included and excluded from the proposed range, depending who's doing the proposing and when.

It's what's great about standards: there are so many of them.

Thank you to everyone who replied! You were all very helpful.

I personally made a rule of 500 meters or higher for sky builds, I used to have 250 but that really is visible and does block flight.

People tend not to build over 4096 because teleporters don't reach up higher.

[Aethelwine]

For Hollywood estates the rule is not to build below 2500m in the sky.

[jmlamonico]

That seems to be the generally-accepted standard for all of the Blake Sea area.

Space from 500m to 2500m is kept free for flying.  Sky builds 2500m and higher and ban lines are absolutely not allowed.  (and thank God for that).

And if you use a security orb, it's just general common courtesy to set the range to cover your parcel and give a warning time.   Whether flying or boating, 30-45 seconds is sufficient to get you out of the area.

The Blake Sea area is a great area to fly in.   You've got Hollywood Airport, Second Norway, Brook Hill Airfield, and you're not too far from a few very nice mainland airports as well.

I've flown just about everyhere in the area, and only once encountered ban lines or a security orb set to instant eject.  More often or not, if my flights end prematurely, it's due to a bad sim crossing.

I currently reside in the Fruit Islands.  The quarters there are much tighter flight-wise, but you still have some places to go, such as Frozen Banana Field, Eden Aistrip, Tortuga Bay, and the SUPER-CHALLENGING Bumrose Airfield with its runway on a steep incline.   Never been able to properly land that airfield.  Even on full reverse, I still slide down the incline into the water  lol

But i digress...  :matte-motes-big-grin:
