Safe airport operations demand a permanent monitoring of obstacles in the close proximity of airports. The construction of new infrastructure or changes to airport operations require systematic obstacle evaluations and assessments to maintain an acceptable level of safety.

International regulations from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as described in Annex 14 Vol. I as well as regulations from European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as described in the CS-ADR-DSN specify airspace around aerodromes to be maintained free from obstacles. For that purpose, Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) are described, which ideally shall not be penetrated by an object. OLS infringements may be acceptable though, if an obstacle assessment or aeronautical study shows that there is no adverse impact on safety of flight operations.

The objective of this training course is to provide a comprehensive overview of aerodrome safeguarding and the assessment of obstacles in the vicinity of aerodromes. The course is designed for all persons involved in this complex subject, including aerodrome, Civil Aviation Authority personnel, or project developers.

The applicable Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) are presented and discussed in detail. Furthermore, the foreseen new OLS of ICAO Annex 14 Vol. 1 will be discussed as well.

In addition, further related aspects such as the protection of visual and instrument flights (VFR, IFR), contingency operations, visual and non-visual aids for air navigation (CNS – communication, navigation and surveillance facilities) as well as further obstacle requirements are presented.

An introduction of instrument flight procedures and their obstacle protection areas is provided (according to ICAO Document 8168 "PANS-OPS"), incl. departure and approach procedures as well as specifics of the Visual Segment Surface (VSS) and Obstacle Clearance Surface (OCS).

Attendees will learn, notably by means of exercises, how to assess relevant Obstacle Limitation Surfaces, to evaluate the significance of penetrating obstacles and to develop appropriate safety measures where necessary.

Please note: This course can also be booked as an in-house version in German - however, the course material is only available in English.
