Abstract
GIS in Airspace Analysis
Track: Transportation
Author(s): Apostol Panayotov
This presentation will describe how ArcGIS can be used as a tool for airspace analyses. Height Limitation Study is one of the essential airspace analyses. Airport planners use HLS to reveal a possible obstruction that proposed construction may compare to Imaginary surfaces as they are described in Federal Regulation 49 CFR Part 77 issued by Federal Aviation Administration.
This document establishes standards and notification requirements for object affecting navigable space. The main purpose is to evaluate the effect of the construction or alteration on operating procedures.
The proposed method is based on two different models.
First model: All necessary data is in CAD files, this is a common case for most airports.
Second model: Data model is a pre-built GIS database especially designed for running this type of analyses.
This presentation will discuss the benefits of developing practical and straight forward methods for Height Limitation Study and streamlining the process.
