Aerodrome Safeguarding & Obstacle Assessment

Protect your airspace. Automatically generate Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) and assess crane or building permits against ICAO Annex 14, EASA CS-ADR-DSN, and FAA Part 77 regulations.

Automated OLS Generation

Instantly generate complex 3D surfaces including Approach, Transitional, and Conical zones.

Ensure your aerodrome remains compliant with ICAO Annex 14 and EASA design criteria without manual CAD work.

Real-Time Penetration Analysis

Manage temporary and permanent obstacles. Input data as 3D cylinders (e.g., for cranes or masts).

The safeguarding software automatically calculates exact penetration depth and clearance distances against protected surfaces

Survey Import & Reporting

Import large survey datasets (CSV, DXF, KML) to identify hidden infringements.

Generate ‘Near Penetration’ alerts and export comprehensive compliance reports (PDF/Excel) for regulatory approval.

Frequently asked questions

Safeguarding Software FAQs

Which regulations does the software support?

Our aerodrome safeguarding software comes pre-loaded with standard datasets for ICAO Annex 14 (Vol I), EASA CS-ADR-DSN, and FAA Part 77. Custom national surfaces (e.g., CAP 168) can also be configured.

Can I visualise obstacles in 3D?

Yes. The tool provides a full 3D environment where you can see the Obstacle Limitation Surfaces as transparent planes and your obstacles as solid 3D objects. This makes it easy to explain infringements to non-technical stakeholders or developers.

Does it handle curved approaches?

Yes. The software supports complex surface generation, including curved approach surfaces and non-standard runway configurations, ensuring accurate obstacle assessment for all aerodrome types.
