The mission of the project is to develop and maintain a universal database of aeronautical data, in order to facilitate the rendering of high quality VFR maps to assist the general aviation community. As the name suggests, a key part of the project is that it is an open source project which coordinates the work of a large community of volunteer contributors. Uppdraget med projektet är att utveckla och upprätthålla en universell databas av flygdata, för att underlätta renderingen av högkvalitativa VFR kartor till allmänflygets förfogande. Som namnet antyder, en viktig del av projektet är att det är ett open source projekt som samordnar arbetet i en stor gemenskap av frivilliga deltagare.

The database is administered by the open flightmaps association, or OFMA, a “not for profit” organization constituted especially for this purpose, which has the support of two universities and several associations of pilots and other organizations within the General Aviation community The structure of the OFMA database closely follows the AIXM Model recommended by Eurocontrol. The open flightmaps association (OFMA) grants you, under the OFMA General Users´ License a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the data contained in the OFM Database, provided you abide by the conditions of the license. These rights explicitly include commercial use, and do not exclude any field of endeavour. To the extent possible these rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or created in the future. Databasen administreras av open flightmaps association, eller OFMA, en "icke-vinstdrivande" organisation utgjord speciellt för detta ändamål, som har stöd av två universitet och ett flertal flygklubbar och andra organisationer inom allmänflyget. Strukturen hos OFMAs databas följer noga AIXM-modellen som rekommenderas av Eurocontrol. Open flightmaps association (OFMA) ger dig under OFMAs allmänna användarvillkor en global, royalty-fri, icke-exklusiv licens att använda uppgifterna i OFMA-databasen, förutsatt att du följer villkoren i licensen. Dessa rättigheter omfattar uttryckligen kommersiellt bruk, och utesluter inte något användningsområde. I möjligaste mån dessa rättigheter kan utövas i alla medier och format om nu kända eller skapas i framtiden.

Release of Italy

22. June 2018

Openflightmaps will once again add another territory, Italy, to the countries covered by the project. This will take the new total up to 19 countries supported by the project.

It is important to emphasize that each one of these 19 territories require constant and rigorous maintenance, to ensure that all of the information is always current. The rate of progress is encouraging, since so far three new territories have been added in 2018, and there are some more in the pipeline.

Finland Release

4. April 2018

In early April 2018 openflightmaps will once again add another territory, Finland, to the countries covered by the project. This will take the new total up to 18 countries supported by the project. With Finland the openflightmaps project reaches into the Artic Circle, the furthest north of all of the territories supported by openflightmaps.

It is important to emphasize that each one of these 18 territories require constant and rigorous maintenance, to ensure that all of the information is always current. The rate of progress is encouraging, since so far two new territories have been added in 2018, and there are some more in the pipeline.
