Airspace being invisible and not signposted, there is no way of 
surveying it in the same way as we can survey roads. All airspace 
boundaries must be derived at some point from official publications and 
therefore potentially subject to copyright in some countries.

There are already airspace maps available to download so it may be 
possible to get permission.

Worth a question on the legal list before going too far?
