Procedure Design
Periodic Reviews

Fly-By NUNES design Instrument Flight Procedures (IFPs) for airports to facilitate safe arrivals, landings and take-offs. Flight procedures at airports need to be reviewed periodically, as required by Civil Aviation Regulations, for a period not exceeding 5 years, as prescribed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

Fly-By NUNES consult with the client and formulate a total list of amendments required to be made including:

• the procedure(s) in terms of their usability

• whether they are still fit-for-purpose

• the latest available criteria

• the safety aspects that need to be addressed.

The periodic review process requires that existing procedure(s) are re-constructed from first principles using the latest design criteria, and that an assessment of the most recent obstacle field data is carried out against the re-constructed design(s).

The IFP Periodic reviews we undertake are comprehensive and include for each design:

• a detailed report on any data that has changed

• existing obstacle data and new obstacle data assessments

• recommended changes to the procedure(s)

• recommendations to mitigate observed or potential reduction in safety of the procedure(s).
