Oryx Aviation Services L.L.C – S.P.C provides specialized Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) Assessments to safeguard the airspace around aerodromes, in line with ICAO Annex 14, regulatory standards, and international best practices. The OLS assessment systematically identifies, surveys, and evaluates potential obstacles that could breach the defined OLS, which is crucial for protecting aircraft during approach, departure, and circling operations.
An experienced team conducts detailed engineering surveys and analyses, mapping all relevant obstacles in both plan and profile views, and assessing the extent of any OLS penetrations. They evaluate the operational importance of each obstacle, considering its potential impact on flight safety, and offer clear, actionable recommendations for mitigation or, if necessary, further aeronautical study.
ORYX service supports aerodrome operators, developers, and regulatory authorities by:
- Ensuring compliance with all applicable OLS requirements and safeguarding responsibilities.
- Facilitating the certification, modification, or retention of aerodrome operational status.
- Supporting safe and efficient flight operations through ongoing monitoring and periodic reassessment of obstacles.
