Wayne,
Good
Idea!
Each
jurisdiction would (ahem - should) keep a spatial database (one that has a map
integrated into it) of the location of each line, typically, in a format
compatible with Mapinfo or ArcGIS.
Can't
see any reason why this information wouldn't be available to the public...
Keeping
this information up to date in a central repository available to pilots might
be something that the GFA "IT people" could take care of.
Or,
in keeping with the trend in the Spatial IT and Cartographic industry sectors,
the information could be made available through what's known as WMS or WFS
servers, converted to a Winpilot type format by someone in the know (at GFA?
RAA? CASA? or all of the above...) and then used by pilots...
...Just
got the replies by Scott and Derek, sorry, SWER wires are private? Huh?
By
that, do you mean that they are run by the local councils or the elec. supply
company?
Any
electricity Supplier will still have this information in spatial format, which
is interrigatable by us, most local councils have some kind of cartographic and
planning division also...
Just
a case of asking I think.

Marks.

Hi
guys, we all know the dangers of the evil SWER type powerlines across
our wide brown land. As an idea for discussion, Is
there a database
available on these lines and if so, could it be
fed through into Seeyou
or Winpilot to warn when looking for outlanding
sites?
If there is not a database, perhaps we need to
lobby for one?
