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.
Create OLS, OAS, PANS-OPS, PBN, conventional, UAS corridor or custom surfaces under the active airport.
Open the saved airport in ASIT and inspect the generated surfaces against terrain, buildings and obstacles.
The authority widget can use those same saved surfaces for citizen, developer and municipal obstacle checks.
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.
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.
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.
Are you a company looking to integrate ASIT into your workflow? Our team will walk you through the platform live — covering airport setup, surface generation, obstacle analysis and report generation.
This video covers the full ASIT workflow — airport setup, surface generation, obstacle analysis and PDF report download — in one continuous demonstration.
ASIT is designed for technical users who need reliable, standards-compliant results — fast.
Run complete aerodrome safeguarding studies and instrument procedure designs in a fraction of the time of manual methods. Professional PDF output ready for authority submission.
