Instrument Procedure Design Tools

FlightLines Design has developed, under contract, Excel® based Instrument Procedure Design Tools with the capability of geodetically assessing obstacle location within segments, obstacle distances and limitation surfaces penetrations. Complex segment structures are adjusted based on turn radii impacted by speed restrictions and revised turn altitudes.

Custom Georeferenced XML Tools

FlightLines Design has developed Excel® code capable of exporting custom-built, georeferenced-XML segment data, compatible with Adobe Illustrator® running Avenza MAPublisher® plugin. These georeferenced layers may then be overlaid on various mapping products and/or exported as shape files or KML/KMZ products.
