Terms of use

Version of 2026-10-19

1. The site

Aerospace Community is a free, non-commercial site about aviation and aerospace, published by a private individual (see the legal notice). It offers a public catalogue (aircraft, engines, airfields, companies…), knowledge and tools, and, for members, a place to share flights, tracks, pictures, videos, documents and articles. Using the site means accepting these terms; the privacy policy says what is done with your data.

2. Your account

• You must be at least 15 years old to have an account.
• One account per person, with true information. Keep your password to yourself; turn on two-step sign-in, which is required for the editor and administrator roles.
• Your API key is personal: do not share it, and replace it if you think someone else knows it.
• You can delete your account at any time from your account page; everything that belongs to it is deleted.

3. What you publish

• You keep the rights to what you publish. You allow the site to host it, show it to the people you chose (see Who sees my content) and make the copies this needs (backups, smaller pictures), for as long as you keep it on the site.
• Publish only what you have the right to publish: your own pictures and texts, or material whose licence allows it, credited as the licence requires.
• Corrections and additions to the catalogue made by database editors are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 licence (CC BY-SA 4.0), like the Wikipedia data the catalogue uses, and the history of changes records their author.
• Flight tracks show where you fly and often where you live: share them knowingly.

4. What is not allowed

• Illegal content: hate speech, harassment, threats, content harming minors, infringements of copyright or of other people's privacy (including publishing someone's personal data without their consent).
• Deceiving or impersonating others, spam and advertising.
• Harming the site: attacks, scanning for weaknesses, automated mass downloading of pages (use the API within reasonable limits instead), getting around the protections against robots.

5. Reports and moderation

Signed-in members can report any page with Report this page at the bottom of the site; anyone can also use the contact form. Each report is read and answered promptly. Content that is illegal or breaks these terms is removed; in serious or repeated cases the account is suspended or closed. The member who reported it receives an acknowledgement, then the decision. The member whose content is removed is told by e-mail what was removed, why (the law or the section of these terms concerned) and how to contest it: through the contact form, which leads to a new review, or before the courts.

6. Availability and liability

The site is run on a best-effort basis, without any guarantee of availability or of the accuracy of the catalogue: check important information (performance, regulations, safety) at its source. The publisher is not responsible for what members publish, but acts promptly once told of illegal content.

Not for navigation or flight safety. Everything on the site (the catalogue, maps and tracks, tools and calculators, weather and atmosphere pages, knowledge pages, flight reports and members' articles) is for information and interest only. It is not an official source, may be incomplete or out of date, and must never be used to plan, prepare or conduct a flight, nor as flight training. For any flight, use the official aeronautical charts and publications (AIP, NOTAM), the official weather services and the documents of your aircraft or wing, and follow your instructor's and your training organisation's teaching.

7. Changes

These terms may change, for example when the site offers something new. The version date above changes; members are told and asked to accept the new version at their next visit.

8. Law

These terms are governed by French law. Before any legal step, please write through the contact form so that a solution can be found together.
