Oryx Aviation Services L.L.C-S.P.C specializes in conducting professional Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) Studies to enhance the safety, compliance, and efficiency of helicopter and aircraft operations at helidecks, heliports, and aerodromes. Our OLS studies are designed to identify potential obstacles that could interfere with safe flight operations, ensuring adherence to international and local regulations, including ICAO Annex 14, CAP 437, and UAE GCAA standards.
Our services begin with a comprehensive obstacle survey, identifying both natural and man-made obstructions within the defined OLS zones. We perform detailed helideck and heliport assessments, evaluating approach, takeoff, and departure paths to guarantee obstacle-free operations. Leveraging advanced 3D modeling and mapping through CAD and GIS tools, we provide accurate visualizations of helideck surroundings and obstacle profiles, enhancing situational awareness for operators and regulators alike.
We prioritize compliance verification, ensuring that helidecks and nearby structures meet all applicable ICAO and local aviation authority requirements. Our flight path risk assessments identify potential hazard zones, addressing risks for both routine and emergency operations. Based on these assessments, we provide recommendations and mitigation measures to remove, mark, or otherwise reduce obstacles that could impact flight safety.
To support regulatory processes, ORYX also offers certification assistance, preparing the necessary documentation for operational approvals and demonstrating full compliance with aviation safety standards. By combining technical expertise, cutting-edge tools, and a regulatory-focused approach, our OLS study services enable operators to maintain safe, efficient, and fully compliant aviation operations at all times.
