Since 1996, Aeronautical Software Developments (ASD) has evolved the ultimate collection of productivity tools and utilities used by many professional procedures designers employed throughout the world. PDToolKit is a complete ICAO PANS-OPS and FAA TERPS criteria procedures design suite for procedures designers, regulators and airline procedure validators. With the introduction of PBN (Performance Based Navigation) ASD has developed AstutePD to further increase your productivity in designing new procedures to optimise available airspace and efficient aircraft operations in a semi-automatic manner. For aerodrome safeguarding, ASMToolKit is a capable tool, delivering a full solution for the assessment of aerodrome surfaces against surveyed obstacle data in accordance with ICAO Annex 14, providing an ideal platform for airports and design consultants. ASDSmartView is one of the newest tools, allowing for obstacle assessment in a easy, quick manner for ‘what if’ scenarios using a standard internet browser interacting with a cloud based solution.

The starting point in procedure design…

Today, there is a wealth of information and data that a procedure designer needs to access to assist in the design process of flight procedures and airspace optimisation. Over many years ASD have developed a series of tools that match the needs of PANS OPS and TERPS designers, delivering AIXM data management workflows and support for many different data import types such as CAP 232, regional survey formats, DVOF and FAA Data.

Full integration…

All of the ASD products take full advantage of the host graphics platform, uniquely able to support ASDs own graphical environment powered by Autodesk technology, or use industry standard CAD tools from both Bentley Systems (MicroStation Connect) and Autodesk (AutoCAD, MAP 3D, Civil 3D). This gives the PDToolKit user the added benefits of the features of an industry leading CAD system. These include map projection, importing of data, raster maps, fast graphical display and true 3D design which goes far beyond that available with traditional GIS platforms. The very latest methods and development technologies from Microsoft are employed to deliver a dynamic and up-to-date interface for maximum choice of solution design including database integration, XML reporting and GIS visualisation.
