<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Aviation">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Aviation</a> is fair enough,
especially the main principle: "We map anything that is observable
on the ground.", but not an airspace. A communication tower, or a
mast is well observable on the ground.<br>
<br>
The DJI changed the map on its RPAS control stations from Google
to Here Map. And on Here Map not much is shown. So usually one
looks at several maps while planning a flight, especially in an
urban area.<br>

<span>Dear Martin,</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>An air traffic obstacle, a tall structure which can
endanger air traffic, has to be marked with red and white
colored markings and with aircraft warning lights at night.
If you look at these communication towers this is how they
are actually painted.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>An airman say a pilot of a medicopter may well study
terrain carefully on a map before a flight. In fact it is
not a flight as a bird flies, but rather a jump as there is
a time limit, an endurance. That is why a planning is
necessary.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Unfortunately on the OSM map he/she will not see any
icon. At the same time the air-traffic in urban areas will
continue to increase. It is future of urban mobility [1].</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>If a helicopter, an RPAS, a plane touches a mast or a
cable it would crash; a mast may collapse. For individuals
involved it could certainly be a disaster.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>People do realize it. Andy not only mapped the
communication tower (or mast) but plans to map its cables.
It is a good idea too. It will take time to map all these
towers (masts), measure and calculate their height, etc.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Unfortunately the confusion between "man_made=tower" and
"man_made=mast" continues. One is rendered and one is not,
and that adds to confusion.</span><br>
