Agile Design Environment

A comprehensive toolkit that empowers designers to rapidly build, modify, and validate flight procedures without getting lost in manual calculations.

Fortified Data Integrity

Built-in Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) routines protect your data chain of custody, from initial survey import (AIXM/eTOD) to final publication.

Next-Gen Visualization

Generate precise 3D trajectory outputs for flight simulators and charting. Instantly analyze obstacles against complex PANS-OPS limitation surfaces.

Rapid Flight Path Design

Procedure Builder

Transform concepts into flyable tracks in minutes using our intuitive PANS-OPS & TERPS design software. The Procedure Builder offers a dynamic interface for constructing arrival, departure, or approach skeletons, ensuring your PANS-OPS & TERPS design adheres to strict safety criteria from the very first click

  • Seamlessly connect fixes to Navaids (VOR/DME) or GNSS waypoints
  • Real-time protection area analysis against obstacles
  • Full Import/Export capabilities via AIXM 5.1.1
  • Push complex designs directly to PD-CAD for refinement

Frequently asked questions

Common queries regarding implementation, compliance, and training.

Contact Us
Which CAD platforms is PDToolKit compatible with?

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.

Is PDToolKit compliant with ICAO Doc 9906?

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.

Can I import AIXM data directly?

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.

Does it support both PANS-OPS and TERPS?

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.

PDToolKit is the only PANS-OPS & TERPS design software that integrates natively with both AutoCAD and MicroStation, offering automated compliance checks, AIXM 5.1 integration, and a seamless workflow for complex airspace design.
