Airspace Design

Airservices is a driving force behind development of international aviation standards in relation to:

• Global Positioning System (GPS) non-precision approaches
• terminal area instrument procedures
• lowest safe altitudes (LSALT) for published air routes
• terminal area instrument procedures and LSALT determinations
• instrument approach procedures to ICAO Pans Ops standards
• management of the ICAO collision risk models
• management of the Pans Ops CADD projects
• advise on ICAO Pans Ops standards and procedures
• liaison with industry in IAL, SID and STAR procedures.

 Our teams are involved in:

• evaluating airport plans and proposals
• testing changes to airspace or air routes prior to implementation
• assessing potential traffic capacity and flow problems
• examining airport and sector capacity and delays as well as airborne conflicts
• determining appropriate solutions including requirements for new gates, taxiways or runways
• identifying potential cost savings.
