Aircraft Performance Services

Supporting airlines and airport operations worldwide

Get Started

Our Expertise

Aircraft Performance Analysis

Comprehensive aircraft performance calculations and analysis for takeoff, landing, climb, and cruise operations tailored to your fleet.

Weight & Balance

Accurate weight and balance calculations ensuring safe operations and regulatory compliance for every flight.

Flight Planning, Routes & Navigation Database

Expert consultation for flight planning optimization, fuel efficiency, company route development, and navigation database management to enhance operational efficiency and accuracy.

Aircraft Selection

Data-driven aircraft evaluation and selection based on operational needs, route structure, performance requirements, and cost efficiency.

Runway Analysis Charts

Detailed runway performance analysis including takeoff, landing, obstacle clearance, and payload optimization for safe airport operations.

NOTAM Watch & RTOW Updates

Continuous monitoring of NOTAMs with the issuance of updated RTOW charts for takeoff and landing, enabling informed operational decision-making. NOTAM updates are provided in professional Word document format for easy reference and compliance.

Airport Obstacle Database (AODB)

APS creates and maintains an up-to-date Airport Obstacle Database (AODB) required for calculation of take-off and landing performance data. The data includes runway information, declared distances, close-in obstacles, and distant topographical obstacles.

What We Provide

  • Airline-specific AODB extracts dependent on fleet and requested airports
  • Monthly updates to ensure current airport and obstacle data
  • Review of obstacle surveys, terrain, and AIP data
  • Engine-Out Procedure for every runway end
  • XML format standard (other formats available upon request)

Standard EOP

Maintain Extended Runway Centreline. Climb to MSA.

Special EOP

Optimised Procedure designed for complex terrain. Example: At D4.0 ABC TRACK 040°M

Our AODB Solution Aims To:

Increase Safety and Regulatory Compliance

  • Using latest obstacle data from airport surveys, Type-A charts, and topographical data
  • All APS Standard and Special EOPs assessed for distant terrain and obstacles up to 27nm (50km)
  • Ensuring AODB compliance with aircraft performance regulations (e.g., CAO 20.7.1b)
  • Robust error checking and QA process

Increase Payload Uplift Safely

  • Clearing or avoiding difficult terrain and obstacles through Special Engine-Out Procedures
  • In-house software for optimization resulting in best flight path and increased obstacle clearance

Save Costs

  • Increase efficiency and productivity of your Flight Operations Engineering Department
  • Integration with your EFB Take-Off and Landing Performance solution
  • Leverage APS expertise, avoiding costs of in-house setup and maintenance
  • Pay for flight operations engineering services only when required

AODB NOTAM Watch Service

Due to the critical nature of obstacle data relied upon in the compilation of AODB, APS can continuously monitor NOTAMs and AIP for changes to airport and obstacle data.

Immediate Notifications

Email alerts sent immediately when NOTAMs influence aircraft performance, ensuring your operations team stays informed in real-time.

Weekly Reports

Comprehensive weekly reports outlining existing NOTAMs likely to affect performance, aiding flight crew in operational planning.

EFB Integration

For customers with EFB apps, we provide extracted distances and obstacle heights from NOTAMs for displaced thresholds and obstacles.

Note: NOTAM Watch updates are issued in response to changes affecting operational planning and performance calculations. For tailored NOTAM Watch implementation and operational integration, please contact our team.
