Wind Farms & Turbines

Comprehensive aeronautical impact assessments for wind energy projects — ensuring regulatory compliance with aviation authorities.

Wind Farms & Turbines

As wind energy developments expand, the height and electromagnetic properties of turbines pose significant safety challenges to civil and military aviation. At Altitude Nexus, we provide technical certainty through high-fidelity 3D spatial modelling and expert aviation impact assessments, ensuring your project meets all regulatory safety standards.

OLS & OAS Obstacle Evaluation

We perform comprehensive 3D evaluations of proposed wind farms against Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) and Obstacle Assessment Surfaces (OAS). Our ASIT platform supports rapid batch analysis of entire wind farms — hundreds of turbines — ensuring zero-error compliance with ICAO Annex 14.

  • Batch OLS Infringement Analysis
  • Instrument Procedure Impact Assessment (OAS)
  • Aeronautical Shadowing & Shielding Evaluation
  • Maximum Allowable Height Optimization

Radar & CNS Coordination

Wind turbines can cause significant interference with primary (PSR) and secondary (SSR) surveillance radar. We conduct detailed Line-of-Sight (LoS) analysis and evaluate electromagnetic compatibility with aviation CNS systems, proposing technical mitigations such as radar blanking or infill solutions.

  • Surveillance Radar Interference (PSR/SSR)
  • NAV Aids Impact Assessment (VOR, DME, ILS)
  • ICAO Annex 10 & 14 Lighting Compliance
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Reports

Authority Liaison & Permitting

Navigating the aeronautical permitting process is complex. We manage the complete technical consultation with National Aviation Authorities (NAA), ANSPs, and Defence agencies, providing the expert aeronautical studies required for planning consent.

  • Aeronautical Study Development
  • Defence Agency Coordination Support
  • Expert Witness & Technical Representation
  • AIP & Charts Revision Management

Regulatory Framework & Guidelines

  • ICAO Annex 14 — OLS and Lighting & Marking
  • ICAO Annex 10 — CNS Interference Standards
  • ICAO Doc 8168 (PANS-OPS) — Procedure Impact Assessment
  • EASA AMC/GM to ADR.OPS.B.070 — Wind Turbine Safeguarding

Powered by ASIT

ASIT supports bulk wind turbine analysis via CSV upload, enabling impact assessment of entire wind farms against all relevant surfaces in seconds — dramatically reducing analysis time.
