PAOLA

A WEB-BASED PLATFORM FOR OBSTACLE DISPLAY

How to avoid having this kind of obstacle in front of your airport?

Obstacle monitoring and coordination is a tricky task but essential to ensure safe and efficient flight operations. Sharing the location of the aeronautical constraint to non-aeronautical experts, such as building companies, wind farm developers, etc. and helping them to determine the maximum allowed building height is a challenge for any airport around the world.

 

PAOLA is an Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) solution that offers an advanced method of utilizing digital data and web services to provide complementary, highly value-added aeronautical services in addition to the eAIP (Electronic Aeronautical Information Publication).

Why PAOLA ?

Centralized database for obstacles assessment and monitoring surfaces

While digital AIPs and aeronautical charts are dedicated to airspace users, PAOLA aims to provide a simple, fluid, and user-friendly display of complex aeronautical constraints, including limitation surfaces, airspace boundaries, and Instrument Flight Protection Areas.

Centralized database for obstacles assessment and monitoring surfaces

With its embedded analysis algorithm, PAOLA provides its users with a fast and exhaustive listing of the aeronautical constraints located at a user-defined position (point, polygon). For each constraint, PAOLA provides the obstacle clearance margin and the related maximum available altitude. Acting as a preliminary obstacle assessment tool, PAOLA significantly improves aviation safety for individuals with limited knowledge of aeronautical protections.

 

PAOLA is fully based on CGX’s AIM data management solutions Data4Flight®(*).

How to access PAOLA ?

PAOLA is a web-based platform (https://paola.cgx-group.com/) accessible through regional and area subscriptions.

For further information please contact us here or by email at contact@cgx-group.com .

(*)Data4Flight® :

  • manages, stores, and provides capability to share aeronautical information according to the latest aviation standards, namely AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange format).

  • Provides a wide range of automated tools to model, configure and evaluate obstacles assessment surfaces (OLS ICAO Annex 14), eTOD (ICAO Annex 15), BRA (Navaids Building restricted Areas - ICAO DOC015)

  • allows PAOLA to be interoperable with any AIM database or AIM data management solution, providing broader aeronautical data services to Air Navigation Services Provider or Aeronautical Information Services departments.
