All what is written at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Aviation 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.
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.

In my opinion, it is a significant issue, in fact a disaster
waiting to happen. There will be soon air-born taxi in Dubai,
Singapore, etc., and the extremely high communication towers, the
so-called aviation traffic obstacles
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_traffic_obstacle , are not
rendered on the OSM map at all.
which disaster do you expect to happen? Someone flying around in
dense fog and using no other information than osm-carto?
I agree it is a shortcoming that towers are not rendered on
osm-carto, but we should keep calm and not exaggerate its significance.

Dear Martin,
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.
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.
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].
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.
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.
Unfortunately the confusion between "man_made=tower" and
"man_made=mast" continues. One is rendered and one is not, and that
adds to confusion.
