After Surface Generation

Saved surfaces move into the engine and widget

When you create and save a surface under an airport, it is not just an exported file. It becomes part of that airport workspace, appears in the ASIT engine for 3D terrain and building review, and can be used by the embeddable widget so public obstacle submissions are checked against the same current surface set.

1

Generate and save

Create OLS, OAS, PANS-OPS, PBN, conventional, UAS corridor or custom surfaces under the active airport.

2

Review in the engine

Open the saved airport in ASIT and inspect the generated surfaces against terrain, buildings and obstacles.

3

Use in the widget

The authority widget can use those same saved surfaces for citizen, developer and municipal obstacle checks.

About the altitude input

ASIT evaluates obstacles against surfaces defined in Orthometric Height (MSL) — the standard for all ICAO aeronautical data. All obstacle altitudes must be entered as absolute altitude above MSL, not as height above ground level. When using the embeddable widget, clicking on the map auto-fills the terrain elevation at that point, which you then add your obstacle's height above ground to.

Note on 3D visualisation: you may notice a small vertical offset between the 3D terrain mesh and the generated surfaces. This is due to the difference between WGS84 (GPS ellipsoid) and MSL (geoid) — called Geoid Undulation — and is purely visual. All analysis results are geometrically correct.

Flexible Workspace

Your subscription allows you to manage up to 5 active saved airports at a time. Need to analyze different sites? Export your data, clear one or more workspaces, and start fresh with new aerodromes. In practice, this lets consulting firms rotate through unlimited airport sites over time under a single €100/month plan.

Per Active Airport Workspace
Saved Surface Slots

The workspace limit is up to 5 active saved airport names/workspaces, not one runway or one surface. The saved airport workspace can contain several generated polygons, so one saved airport can represent potentially hundreds of runway and procedure protection areas.
