Procedure Builder
The design process starts with Procedure Builder, which focuses on efficiently producing conceptual designs. It gathers together the essential project data about the aerodrome, navigational data, and basic obstacle data.
Builder adopts an aerodrome-centric approach where a Builder project contains all the data and procedures for a single Aerodrome.

The starting point for building a procedure is the assembly of the key components. Existing waypoints are utilised, and new ones created as required. While defining the waypoints we can add essential data such as altitudes and turn data such as speed and bank angle.
Once the static data and key components are assembled, you can experiment and dynamically move waypoints to see the impact and optimum flight path. Utilising existing waypoints and creating new ones as required. While defining the waypoints, you can add essential data such as altitude and turn data such as speed and bank angle.
Procedure Builder provides the designer with a truly dynamic environment in which to work. All changes trigger immediate recalculations of parameters, applying not just to the aircraft’s nominal track and protection areas but also to the vertical profile of the procedure as the design progresses.

Arrival with Missed Approach Procedure using Procedure Builder
One of the most advanced features of Procedure Builder is its capability to model the turn cases in Doc 8168 that are applicable for arrivals, approaches, and missed approaches. Complex turn construction happens dynamically as the designer moves fixes and waypoints to optimise the design.
