Advanced Flight Procedure Design Solution
A native design environment independent of any CAD platform. Every adjustment triggers immediate recalculations of tracks, protection areas, and vertical profiles, ensuring compliance with ICAO Standards.
Efficiency
Accelerate your workflow
Automated protection areas mean you can iterate designs in minutes, not days.
Re-assess your procedures in minutes to support a 5 year review.

Core Technology
Criteria Compliant Engine
Forget manual geometry checks. The Procedure Builder engine is hard-coded with:
- ICAO Doc 8168 Vols 1 & 2
- ICAO Doc 9905 RNP AR Manual
- ICAO Doc 9613 PBN Manual
If the criteria changes, we update the kernel.
Flexibility
Full designer control
The Procedure Designer has access to all parameters. Not a black box.
Flexibility
Custom protection areas
Non standard areas may be produced using PDToolKit Surface Modeller in AutoCAD.
Design
Criteria Compliant Engine
Handle the most difficult procedure types with automated wizards. Our flight procedure design soultion simplies the geometry for
- RNP AR (Authorization Required) Design
- PinS (Point-in-Space) Helicopter Procedures
- Baro-VNAV Vertical Path Construction
- Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs)
- Standard Arrivals (STARs)
- Instruments Approaches (ILS, LNAV/VNAV. etc)
- Holds
Analysis
Obstacle Assessment
Import massive terrain datasets (DEM/DTM) and let the system find the penetrations automatically
- OAS & CRM Surface Generation
- 3D Visualization of Obstacle Clearance
- Automated Controlling Obstacle Reports
Validation
Software Validation
Prove your design is safe before it ever leaves the desk. Perform ICAO Doc 9906 Vol 3 compliant validation checks
- NUnit regression testing
- Rules based AI validation
- Valid data export to AIXM 5.1
- Published test cases of validated procedures
Frequently asked questions
CAD Surface Modeller is engineered as a fully integrated, native add-on for Autodesk AutoCAD. This ensures your design team can work within a familiar environment without the learning curve of a proprietary CAD engine.
Yes. PDToolKit has been specifically designed to support the Procedure Design workflow as described in ICAO Doc 9906 Volume 1 Section 6.3, ensuring your outputs meet the highest Quality Assurance standards.
Absolutely. The PDToolKit DataManager module supports the direct import and management of AIXM 4.5, AIXM 5.1, eTOD, and CSV files, maintaining data integrity throughout the process.
CAD Surface Modeller provides support for both ICAO and FAA TERPS standards. Procedure Builder is currently focussed on the automation of ICAO PANS-OPS procedures only.
