Port Angeles Airport Obstruction Mapping
AeroMetric’s obstruction mapping for William R. Fairchild International Airport at Port Angeles, Washington was one of the first such projects in the United States approved by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) as conforming to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) new requirements in Advisory Circular 150/5300-18B. During the past 8 years AeroMetric has mapped over 30 airports for WHPacific originally under Part 77, and through the evolution of the Advisory Circular 150/5300-16, 17, and 18 series.
FAA and NGS obstruction mapping requirements and mapping surface definitions evolved with the FAA’s publication of DRAFT Advisory Circular 150/5300-18B. Throughout several iterations of this evolution, AeroMetric was able to adapt our production process while in progress to meet the changing specifications. AeroMetric continues to improve our efficiency by constantly adapting and automating our tools and procedures.
AeroMetric’s technical expertise and experience with these dynamic requirements allowed our staff to provide integral feedback to NGS which ultimately helped define the final mapping surface definitions and requirements. The FAA and NGS finalized Advisory Circular 150/5300-18B in May, 2009.
