OVERVIEW

This course equips delegates with the knowledge and skills required to comprehensively safeguard aerodromes and their associated communication, navigation & surveillance (CNS) equipment. Attendees will learn how to derive obstacle limitations surfaces (OLS), obstacle identification surfaces (OIS), and obstacle assessment surfaces (OAS) in order to evaluate the potential impact of various structures on aviation safety.

The course also includes a basic introduction to the principles of ICAO PANS-OPS Flight Procedure Design, particularly the ILS precision approach, the visual segment surface (VSS), and the visual manoeuvring area (VMA).
