Flight Procedure Design & Safety

To70 is a certified Flight Procedure Design Service Provider, creating and maintaining flight procedures for safe and efficient aircraft operations.

Home → Expertise areas → Flight Procedure Design & Safety

Flight procedure design is the process of creating and maintaining instrument flight procedures, which are used by aircraft flying in accordance with instrument flight rules. Instrument flight procedures are designed to facilitate safe and efficient operations, especially in low-visibility conditions and/or complex airspace.

To70 is certified under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373 by the National Supervisory Authority the Netherlands to provide Flight Procedure Design (FPD) services. Our certificate allows us to design, document and validate instrument flight procedures intended for operational use. Our designs are conducted within the framework of ICAO and EASA regulations for instrument flight procedure design, and where needed consider state differences.

We offer our FPD services worldwide from our office in the Netherlands.

Flight Procedure Design & Safety

Certified under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373, we offer comprehensive support in the design, validation and maintenance of instrument flight procedures. Our expertise includes Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) procedures, conventional procedures and PinS (Point-in-Space) helicopter procedures.

We specialize in conducting comprehensive feasibility studies to assess the viability of proposed aviation projects. Our expert team develops possible design concepts and evaluates key factors such as obstacle impact, route and network efficiency, flyability, regulatory compliance and environmental impact. By delivering in-depth analyses and insights, we help clients make informed decisions and strategically plan their investments, ensuring successful project outcomes.

Aeronautical and safety studies evaluate how obstacles affect flight operations. Using ICAO guidelines, To70 determines safe obstacle height limits and recommends adjustments to flight procedures, ensuring construction without compromising safety.

These studies may include:

  • Annex 14 assessment (current and future)
  • PANS-OPS assessment
  • CNS safeguarding
  • Safety studies
  • Benchmarking of local legislation with global best practices

Conducts solar panel glare analyses using the ForgeSolar glare simulation software. Based on panel setup and location, To70 simulates glare year-round to assess its timing, frequency, and intensity, determining whether it poses a safety risk to pilots, ATC, and ground personnel at the airport.
