Airport Safeguarding
airsight assists airport operators, airspace users and project developers in managing new or existing objects and constructions while ensuring aviation safety.
Overview
Safe air operations require a permanent monitoring and assessment of possible infringements of applicable control surfaces defined e.g. in ICAO Annex 14 OLS, PANS-OPS, ICAO EUR DOC 015 or their national implementation.
This process, called "safeguarding", shall facilitate the safe integration of new constructions around airports or air traffic control equipment. While regulations may be at a first sight restrictive, these also allow a great flexibility to enable urban or wind farm development - provided a systematic assessment of the possible impacts of new constructions on aviation is conducted and demonstrate that the safety of air operations is not compromised.
Such assessment, also known as "aeronautical study" is one of the core competence of airsight. Not only we have conducted over hundred of such assessments and are accredited or recognised by several aviation authorities to provide such services to project developers, but we also contribute in the development of the national and international regulations to make aviation safer.
Our objective and added value is to find operational or technical solutions meeting the needs of airport operators, airspace users and project developers, and our experience in this field is almost unprecedented.
