Airspace Zone

An Airspace Zone is a geographically bounded airspace segment with a restriction type and operational limits. Zone geometry is stored in the Constraint Engine and referenced from the zone record via constraint_uuid. In prose and APIs this entity is always an Airspace Zone; the sidebar label shortens to Zone.

Role in the platform

Airspace Zones are the published spatial policy surface. Missions that intersect managed or restricted zones generate Permission requests for the managing organisation. Airspace Managers own and update zones. Airspace Monitors observe activity within zones they can access.
