Aerodrome Safeguarding

Comprehensive obstacle analysis and OLS evaluation to ensure your aerodrome environment complies with ICAO Annex 14 and national regulations.

Aerodrome Safeguarding

Maintaining the safety of an aerodrome environment requires constant vigilance and precision analysis. At Altitude Nexus, we specialize in 3D obstacle evaluation, ensuring that every structure within the vicinity of the aerodrome complies with international and national safety standards.

OLS & the new OFS/OES Dual Concept

We are at the forefront of the transition to the OFS (Obstacle Free Surface) and OES (Obstacle Evaluation Surface) dual concept, a mandatory requirement for many aerodromes by 2030. Our tools already support these advanced evaluations alongside traditional OLS.

  • Transition support for new ICAO dual surfaces
  • Full ICAO Annex 14 Vol I Compliance
  • EASA CS-ADR-DSN Implementation
  • Bespoke National Safeguarding Surfaces

Aeronautical Studies & Hazard Assessment

When an obstacle penetrates a limiting surface, a technical solution is required. We conduct comprehensive aeronautical studies to assess the actual hazard posed by the penetration and propose effective mitigation strategies.

  • Penetration Impact Assessments
  • Shadowing Principle Application
  • Marking and Lighting Recommendations
  • Expert Operational Risk Evaluation

Workflow Integration & ASIT Platform

Our ASIT platform automates the entire safeguarding workflow, from CAD/KML data ingestion to final regulatory reporting, ensuring zero-error analysis and consistent compliance across your enterprise.

  • Real-time 3D Geospatial Visualization
  • Batch Structure Processing (Up to 100 points)
  • Automated Terrain and Obstacle Database (AODB)
  • Enterprise API Integration for ANSPs

Regulatory Framework & Guidelines

  • ICAO Annex 14 Volume I — Aerodromes
  • EASA CS-ADR-DSN — Aerodrome Design
  • ICAO Doc 9137 Part 6 — Control of Obstacles
  • ICAO Doc 9981 — PANS-Aerodromes

Powered by ASIT

All safeguarding work leverages ASIT — our proprietary platform. Clients can access the tool directly for self-service analysis, or commission full consultancy including validation, interpretation and official reporting.
