pgpilot Community Contributor Terms

Version: community-v1 · Effective: September 28, 2026

pgpilot lets pilots add to a shared map: cables, obstacles and, later, sites and local airspace. These terms cover what you send us when you do that. They sit alongside our privacy policy, which covers your personal data. By submitting a contribution you agree to the version of these terms shown in the app at the time.

1. What counts as a contribution

A contribution is anything you add to or change in the community map data, including:

• reporting an obstacle, such as a cable, wire, mast or material rope;
• confirming that a reported obstacle is still there;
• reporting that an obstacle is gone;
• and, as these features arrive, adding or editing takeoffs, landings and local airspace, and any other edit to the community data.

2. Only share what is yours to share

When you contribute, you confirm that it is your own observation or knowledge, and that you are not copying it from a source whose terms forbid that.

• Fine: facts you have seen or checked yourself, like where a cable runs, how high it is, or that it has been taken down.
• Not fine: copying text, descriptions, photos or datasets from other websites, apps or maps, unless their licence clearly allows it.

3. The licence you give us

You give eide.ai AS, the company behind pgpilot, a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and sublicensable licence to use, copy, modify, combine with other data, publish and relicense your contributions. That includes publishing them under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0 and passing them on to open projects such as OpenStreetMap and openAIP under their licences.

You keep whatever rights you have in your contribution. You can still use your own observations however you like. This licence just makes sure the shared map can keep using and sharing them.

4. The community data is open data

pgpilot makes the community map database available under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. The individual contents of the database are available under the Database Contents License (DbCL) 1.0.

Attribution: © pgpilot contributors.

Works produced from the data, such as maps, apps or printed charts, may be released under any licence, as long as the ODbL's attribution and share-alike rules for the database itself are followed.

5. Your name and the history

A contribution may be shown with your display name, and every contribution is kept in the edit history so others can see who added or changed what and when.

If you delete your account, your name is removed from your contributions, but the contributions themselves stay in the map and its history. Other pilots rely on them, and they may already have been shared under the licences above.

6. Safety: community data is an aid, not a guarantee

Community data is added by pilots and is unverified. It may be wrong, out of date or missing. An obstacle that is not on the map may still be there.

• It never replaces official aeronautical publications, NOTAMs or your own judgement and lookout.
• You fly on your own responsibility.
• The data is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, including accuracy, completeness or fitness for any purpose. To the extent the law allows, eide.ai AS is not liable for loss or damage arising from its use.

7. Moderation

Volunteer editors and pgpilot may edit, reject or retire any contribution, for example when it is wrong, duplicated or no longer there.

False, abusive or deliberately misleading contributions, and copying from sources that do not allow it, can lead to your contributions being removed and your ability to contribute or edit being taken away.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. A new version gets a new version name and effective date, and the app asks you to accept it before your next contribution. Contributions you made earlier stay under the version you submitted them under.
