Professional aviation obstacle screening, built for operational decision-making.
Tsela AOE helps identify potential aviation impacts from proposed obstacles, developments and infrastructure projects using a specialist-enabled digital assessment platform.
Early aviation risk identification for infrastructure projects.
Before towers, masts, turbines, cranes, buildings or other structures are developed, aviation impacts should be identified early and assessed professionally.
- Screen proposed obstacles against aerodrome safeguarding criteria.
- Identify potential implications for CNS facilities and flight procedures.
- Support defensible decision-making before project costs escalate.
- Connect users with approved aviation specialists for technical review.
Designed for aviation professionals
AOE is not positioned as a regulatory approval shortcut. It is a professional screening and assessment support platform for identifying aviation safeguarding risks and enabling better technical engagement.
