# What is Orbit Coverage and Line-of-Sight?

Orbit Coverage and Line-of-Sight features require the Global, Terrain, and Terrain Analysis data be loaded in the Active Cycle. Please refer to the [**Aero App User Manual**](https://www.aeroapp.info/user-manual/), section *Orbit Altitude*, for more information on utilizing Orbit coverage and the Line-of-Sight features on the Moving Map. This feature is available on Aero App for iOS.

### Orbit Coverage

Aero App’s Orbit Coverage calculates the highest altitude using terrain and vertical obstructions in each sector to allow users to safely fly over a given orbit.
