Advanced Flight Procedure Design Tools
A native design environment for AutoCAD and MicroStation. Every adjustment triggers immediate recalculations of tracks, protection areas, and vertical profiles, ensuring compliance with ICAO Doc 8168.
Efficiency
Accelerate your workflow
Automated protection areas mean you can iterate designs in minutes, not days.

Core Technology
Criteria Compliant Engine
Forget manual geometry checks. Our engine is hard-coded with ICAO Doc 8168 and FAA Order 8260.3 rulesets. If the criteria changes, we update the kernel.
Integration
AutoCAD Ready
Native .DWG support. No conversion needed.
Integration
MicroStation Ready
Native .DGN support. Seamless import.
Design
Criteria Compliant Engine
Handle the most difficult procedure types with automated wizards. Our flight procedure design tools simplify the geometry for
- RNP AR (Authorization Required) Design
- PinS (Point-in-Space) Helicopter Procedures
- Baro-VNAV Vertical Path Construction
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
Ground Validation
Prove your design is safe before it ever leaves the desk. Perform ICAO Doc 9906 compliant validation checks
- WGS-84 Geodetic Accuracy Checks
- Flyability Analysis
- Export to AIXM 5.1
Frequently asked questions
PDToolKit is engineered as a fully integrated, native add-on for both Autodesk AutoCAD and Bentley MicroStation. 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 Section 5.2, ensuring your outputs meet the highest Quality Assurance standards.
Absolutely. The AeroDataManager module supports the direct import and management of AIXM 4.5, AIXM 5.1, eTOD, and CSV files, maintaining data integrity throughout the process.
Yes. The software includes comprehensive criteria libraries for both ICAO PANS-OPS (Doc 8168) and FAA TERPS standards, allowing you to switch between regulatory frameworks as required by your project.
