    Movement of
  • handling vehicles: Simulation of equipment operations on the platform, optimizing routes and minimizing operating times.
  • Time and capacity evaluation: Analysis of efficiency in the flow of aircraft and vehicles, ensuring fluid, controlled and safe operations.

Development Master Plans

We develop airport master plans that establish a strategic and sustainable vision for long-term growth. Our studies include:

  • Demand and capacity projection: Analysis of air traffic and demand projection considering the impact on infrastructure and convergent needs.
  • Optimization of operational areas: Planning of runways, taxiways, platforms, passenger terminals and adjacent infrastructure.
  • Zoning and expansion: Identification of areas for future expansions, considering operational and environmental restrictions.
  • Integration with the environment: Evaluation of land access, intermodality and compatibility with urban development.
  • Regulatory compliance: Application of ICAO and FAA standards to guarantee development aligned with international regulations.

Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS)

Obstacle Limiting Surfaces (OLS) are essential for airport safety and planning, establishing limits that guarantee that buildings and objects in the vicinity of airports and heliports do not affect air operations. Its correct evaluation and modeling make it possible to prevent interference with the takeoff, approach and maneuver trajectories of aircraft.

At SCIAER, we offer detailed modeling under the BIM methodology, which allows an accurate and interoperable representation of OLS in advanced digital environments. Our studies include:

Modelado tridimensional de alta precisión conforme a normativas por el Anexo 14 de OACI. 

  • Evaluation of maximum heights allowed for buildings, antennas, mills and other structures close to controlled air spaces.
  • Detection of penetrations and impact analysis, with mitigation proposals to guarantee operational safety.
  • Preparation of detailed technical reports, accompanied by graphic representations.
  • Integration with BIM, CAD, GIS and Google Earth tools, facilitating the visualization and efficient management of data.

Airports, Heliports and Environment Planning

We carry out comprehensive studies for the development and optimization of airports and heliports. Our services include:

  • Prefeasibility study:

    Before making a significant investment in the development of an airport or heliport, it is essential to evaluate its viability. Our prefeasibility studies allow us to determine if a location is suitable for the siting of airport infrastructure, considering key factors such as aeronautical restrictions, wind analysis, projected demand, accessibility, environmental impact and preliminary costs.

    This initial analysis provides a solid foundation for making strategic decisions, reducing risks and optimizing resources before moving to more detailed planning and design stages.

  • Evaluation of maximum permitted heights: Studies for buildings, antennas, mills and other structures close to controlled air spaces, ensuring compliance with aeronautical regulations.

  • Registration of LAD and LADH: Support in the process optimizing approval times through solid technical support and compliance with current regulations.

Aeronautical Software Development

We design specialized technological solutions for the Aeronautics industry with the aim of optimizing key resources for Airports and Heliports.

  • Generation and modeling of Optimized OLS with AI – Robust software capable of generating accurate Obstacle Limiting Surfaces compatible with graphical environments such as Google Earth and GIS systems.
  • Wind Analysis – Software specialized in generating wind roses and evaluating winds in areas under study.
  • Capacity analysis and planning – Tools for feasibility studies, resource optimization and strategic decision making.
  • Analysis of shadows generated by buildings in Aerodromes – Specialized software for the analysis of shadows generated by buildings projected close to the control tower based on compliance with FAA regulations.
  • Solutions with AI Applied to Airport Planning – We adapt the potential of artificial intelligence to optimize processes in aviation, improving analysis times, guaranteeing operational safety and maximizing efficiency for strategic decision making.

Implementation Amendment 18 Annex 14 - The new OLS

The recent ICAO update redefines how aerodromes must protect their operations from obstacles. These new surfaces not only modernize the evaluation methodology, but also expand the scope of planning and management of the airport environment.

At SCIAER, we accompany airport operators, authorities and consultants in the adaptation and application of the new SLOs, offering:

  • Modeling of the SLOs under amendment 18 of Annex 14 – ICAO, with tools that allow their detailed representation in specialized software and visualization in 3D environments designed for BIM work environments.

  • Comparative analysis between current and new surfaces, identifying risks, opportunities and changes in the impact of obstacles.

  • Support in regulatory implementation, ensuring that each airport anticipates regulatory requirements and transforms the update into a strategic advantage.

  • Personalized studies, adapted to the local reality of each aerodrome.

  • Aeronautical Studies for risk mitigation in situations where the New Limiting Surfaces are violated.

With these services, SCIAER helps transform a regulatory challenge into an opportunity for growth and operational safety for the region’s airports.

Instrumental Flight Procedure Design

  • We develop climb, descent routes and instrumental approaches, using both conventional procedures and performance-based navigation (PBN / RNAV).
  • We evaluate the technical feasibility of new procedures or the modification of existing ones at airports with operational challenges, considering obstacles, airspace restrictions and technical limitations.
  • We incorporate environmental optimization criteria, designing trajectories that reduce acoustic impact, emissions and fuel consumption, achieving a coherent balance.
  • We carry out comprehensive validation of procedures through simulations or test flights, guaranteeing their correct operational application.
  • We prepare aeronautical charts and codify the procedures for their integration into navigation databases and FMS systems.
  • All our services are developed under strict ICAO international standards and a rigorous quality assurance system.
