ASIT

Aerodrome Safeguarding
& Procedure Design Tool

Design ICAO Annex 14 OLS, generate PANS-OPS protection surfaces and assess obstacles in 3D. ASIT brings technical safeguarding work and construction queries into one browser-based tool.

Launch ASIT View Pricing
Standards and procedures covered

ASIT covers PANS-OPS/Doc 8168 design and OAS/PBN protection geometry for SIDs, STARs, en-route, approach and missed-approach procedures. It also supports conventional holding and turn procedures, plus Annex 14 OLS with curved surfaces for aerodromes and heliports.

ASIT stands for Aerodrome Safeguarding & Inspection Tool.

ASIT in practice

Two workflows for clearer aerodrome safeguarding

For aviation teams

Design and assess in ASIT

Generate and configure OLS and PANS-OPS protection surfaces, then assess proposed obstacles in one digital workflow. ASIT identifies coordinates, retrieves terrain height, calculates penetrations and prepares construction authorisation reports, replacing scattered emails and manual map checks.

Open ASIT workspace
For applicants and the public

Check a proposal on the map

Locate a proposed structure to see its coordinates and terrain height. View the configured approval or denial result against aerodrome surfaces and download the assessment report.

What is ASIT

Powerful. Fast. Precise.

ASIT is web-based software for instrument flight procedure design under PANS-OPS, OLS generation and 3D obstacle assessment. It automates geometry, penetration checks and report preparation.

Standards and surface types

ASIT (Aerodrome Safeguarding & Inspection Tool) is a web platform for PANS-OPS procedure design, surface generation and 3D obstacle assessment. It supports PBN and conventional protection geometry under Doc 8168, OAS, Annex 14 OLS for aerodromes and heliports, OFS/OES, VSS/OCS, BRA and custom 3D surfaces. Teams can review terrain and buildings, check multiple points and see results without installing software.

Capability Summary

Flight procedure design, surface generation and obstacle analysis software

ASIT brings procedure design, surface generation and obstacle assessment into one platform. It is built for procedure designers, authorities, airports and consultancy teams.

Technical coverage and workspace capacity

ASIT is a web-based PANS-OPS/Doc 8168 design and aerodrome safeguarding tool. Procedure designers, authorities, airports, consultancies, wind energy developers and applicants can use it to create surfaces and review buildings, cranes and other proposals.

Premium costs EUR 100 per month and includes up to five saved airport workspaces active at one time. Teams can export their data, clear a workspace and set up another aerodrome; each workspace can hold hundreds of runway and procedure protection areas.

Obstacle surfaces
ICAO Annex 14 OLS for aerodromes and heliports, PANS-OPS/OAS protection areas and custom 3D surfaces. Each airport workspace can hold areas for multiple runways and procedures.
PBN procedure protection generation
Full ICAO-compliant PBN SID, STAR, en-route, approach and missed-approach protection areas.
Conventional and PBN turns
Holding, racetrack, base-turn and 45/180 procedure-turn construction for both conventional and PBN use cases.
Engine, 3D checks and CAA widget
Saved surfaces are shown in the ASIT engine for terrain/building review and can power the embeddable widget for citizen obstacle checks.
