Short answer: ASIT can be deployed as a Civil Aviation Authority obstacle declaration widget. It lets citizens and developers submit coordinates, heights and object type, then performs ICAO surface checks, generates a pre-submission dossier and stores structured audit details for authority review.
Service improvement for CAAs
A CAA widget changes obstacle safeguarding from a specialist-only exchange into a guided public service. Non-aeronautical users can understand whether an object may affect protected surfaces before the authority spends time on the formal review.
What the authority can receive
- Obstacle coordinates, elevation and height AGL.
- Object category such as building, crane, antenna or mast.
- Limiting surface, margin and maximum permissible altitude.
- Applicant and representative information.
- PDF dossier for pre-check or formal intake.
- Structured JSON details for backend audit logs.
- 3D terrain and building context for fast review.
- Configurable wording aligned with the authority process.
Automated reports and authority decisions
ASIT can identify submitted coordinates and terrain height, compare a request with the airport’s saved OLS or PANS-OPS surfaces, calculate obstacle penetration and generate an authorisation report. CAAs can configure routine cases to move through a near end-to-end digital workflow with minimal manual handling. Whether a report constitutes formal authorisation depends on the authority’s legal framework and adopted process.
Frequently asked questions
Can ASIT be used as a CAA obstacle declaration widget?
Yes. ASIT can be configured as an embeddable CAA widget so citizens, developers and municipalities can pre-check antennas, buildings, cranes and other obstacles before or during formal submission.
What does the widget return?
The widget can return affected surface, clearance margin, penetration status, maximum permissible height, coordinates, applicant information, dossier references and an audit record for the authority.
What is the ASIT CAA Citizen Widget?
The CAA Widget is an embeddable tool for Civil Aviation Authority websites. It allows citizens and developers to pre-check if a proposed crane, antenna, or building will infringe on protected airport surfaces before submitting a formal application.
How does the widget improve CAA workflows?
It reduces the administrative burden on CAAs by filtering out non-infringing requests and ensuring that all submitted dossiers include accurate coordinates and height data verified against official OLS surfaces.
