Our Airspace Feasibility Studies product easily adapts to meet your needs—regardless of size and scope. Use it to examine the complex effects and benefits of full airspace/airport operational optimization. Or narrow its focus to assess one or more IFR/VFR design procedures, or even a single airport runway.
At Your Service:
-
Give us your data and we’ll create a solution-oriented and independent answer to your requested airspace challenge
-
Our feasibility runway study includes a preliminary procedure design to provide potential landing weather minimums (DA/MDA)
-
Our studies include possible environmental, airspace, and airport constraints that might affect safety or operational elements
-
Out study/report includes our recommendations, feasibility assessment, and the next steps
Use our Airspace Design Services to implement a complete airspace design, efficiently bringing together multiple airports into one larger area of control.
Features:
-
Successfully completed multiple large VHF Omni-Directional Radio Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) implementation projects
-
Managed all aspects of the supporting airspace development process including navigational aid sitting, naming of waypoints, coordinating enroute airways across host nation boundaries, and producing/managing the Flight Inspection package
-
Air traffic controller training provided
Our Products/Services:
-
Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs)
-
Departure Procedures (DPs)
-
Airway segments with associated fixes, waypoints, and necessary obstacle reviews
-
In the radar environment, we can review existing or develop original minimum vectoring altitude (MVA) charts and suggest arrival and departure corridors or tracks that meet air traffic standards
Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR)
-
Increase aircraft positioning accuracy from enroute to terminal airspace with our Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR)
Satellite Benefits:
-
Receive the combined benefits of satellite navigation and onboard databases.
Navigational Advances:
-
Use a common, predetermined method for an aircraft departing the enroute airspace structure and navigating to a destination for landing
-
Simplify clearance delivery procedures in congested or complex airspace
-
Smoother transition support from the enroute airspace structure to an outer fix, an instrument approach fix, or arrival waypoint in the terminal airspace area
Features:
-
Continuous Descent Approaches (CDAs), an advanced Air Traffic Management (ATM) tool used to support ATC operations in limited complex terminal airspace area
-
Uses a 4-Dimensional trajectory-based arrival system with significant benefits for fuel savings (operational costs)
-
Provides “Solutions From The Sky Down” CDA concepts, as a subset of standard arrivals
-
Supports inbound priority sequencing with features of collaborative airline-ATC arrival handing for multiple aircraft congested airspace
Standard Instrument Departures (SID)
-
Facilitate the navigation of aircraft from the terminal airspace to the enroute airspace phase of flight using our worldwide Standard Instrument Departures (SID).
Features:
-
Guides aircraft on a more precise ground track to assist with noise abatement using satellite navigation concepts
-
Your aircraft can fly the SID just like a Global Positioning System (GPS) procedure
-
Helps reduce aircraft drift, which occurs often with conventional Standard Instrument Departures
-
Assists Air Traffic Control facilities in meeting capacity and control requirements
Facilitate Traffic Flow:
-
Increase capacity of terminal airspace
-
Effectively control the flow of traffic with minimal communication
-
Reduce environmental impact through noise abatement procedures
-
Meet International Civil Aviation Organization regulations with our unique ability to provide Engine-Out Departure Procedures
-
Bring an aircraft out of harm’s way at the most critical phase of aircraft flight using our degraded aircraft performance limitations that are applied to departure procedure (SID)
Our charts for Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA) and Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA) accurately project required obstacle clearances for Air Traffic Controller (ATC) staff during radar vectoring and aircraft emergencies.
Features:
-
We combine significant global terrain and obstacle data with customer-supplied validation
-
Charts undergo the highest quality review
-
You receive both a hard copy and electronic databases of the chart source data
