Airport Vicinity Land Use Analysis and Management Software - AvGIS
The primary function of PSMI’s web based AvGIS Software is to assist airport operators, regulators, private land developers and municipal planners to identify airport related land use constraints in the vicinity of and on airport lands. AvGIS provides a single all-encompassing web-based query and analysis tool to query any position and to identify all related aeronautical restrictions including:
- Obstacle Limitation Surfaces
- Operational Obstacle Limitation Surfaces
- Airport Zoning Regulation Obstacle Limitation Surfaces
- Operational and Zoning Regulation Electronic Zoning
- Bird Hazards Zones
- Airport Noise Exposure Forecast Contours
- ATC Sightlines
- Instrument Approach Obstacle Clearance Surfaces
- Airport Land Use Designations (Airport Land Use Plan)
- Airport Master Plan Features (Existing and Future)
AvGIS simplifies the complex interpretation of the above noted aeronautical features by requesting the User to only enter a location. The rest of the analysis is fully automated including the preparation of report including a key map and summary of all noted constraints. AvGIS ensures a quick and efficient means to check land use proposals which will ensure the safe operation of aircraft around and within the airport and to provide mitigations for those uses that may conflict with the airport. Some of the potential AvGIS users include: airport operations staff, municipal development officers, regulatory bodies, land developers and the general public.
