Mapping of Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) and Aeronautical Studies

Safe airport operations require a permanent monitoring and assessment of possible infringements of the Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS), as prescribed in the relevant regulations such as ICAO Annex 14 and EASA CS-ADR-DSN.

These Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) “define the airspace around aerodromes to be maintained free from obstacles so as to permit the intended aeroplane operations at the aerodromes to be conducted safely and to prevent the aerodromes from becoming unusable by the growth of obstacles around the aerodromes.”

airsight assists airport operators, airspace users and project developers in managing new or existing objects and constructions while ensuring aviation safety. 

In the past months and years, airsight prepared numerous maps of aerodromes’ Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS). Other aspects such as flight procedures and CNS facilities can be considered for the determination of more extensive aerodrome safeguarding maps as well.

In addition, airsight conducts independent assessments of obstacles, so called aeronautical studies, to ensure that safety of operations is not impacted. In more than 100 studies airsight has proven it is one of the leading experts in the domain of obstacle assessments and aeronautical studies.
