Applicability First
Confirm the object is inside a surface footprint before comparing elevations, so adjacent surfaces are not incorrectly stacked as simultaneous violations.
Screen airfield obstructions before formal coordination.
Clear Path helps airfield, planning, and engineering teams quickly screen proposed objects against supported obstruction-evaluation criteria, identify likely conflicts, and generate structured planning reports.
Clear Path supports planning, screening, documentation, and decision support. It does not issue regulatory approvals or certifications and does not replace required FAA, DoD, airport sponsor, engineering, TERPS, safety, environmental, command, contracting, or agency review.

Platform capabilities
What Clear Path Provides
From plan-view applicability checks to report-ready outputs, Clear Path keeps airfield obstruction and protected-surface review technically grounded, visually understandable, and easier to coordinate across planning, engineering, and operational teams.
It is built for airport managers, engineers, planners, consultants, safety reviewers, and agency-adjacent teams that need faster early screening, likely-conflict identification, and traceable report documentation before formal coordination or final approval.
Criteria-Based Calculations
Apply encoded dimensions, slopes, offsets, and applicability rules while keeping violations, clear, not applicable, and not evaluated results distinct.
Regulatory Source Awareness
Trace supported FAA Part 77 and selected airfield-design or DoD/UFC criteria without obscuring source applicability or user verification responsibilities.
2D / GIS Context
Review airfield context, runway geometry, object location, and selected protected-surface overlays in one plan-view workspace.
3D Engineering View
Inspect runway reference geometry, object position, and selected surface projections from an engineering-oriented 3D perspective.
Structured PDF Reports
Export inputs, criteria sources, results, assumptions, limitations, and calculation detail for coordination and technical review.
Planning use cases
Preliminary Screening Workflows
Use Clear Path to assess project feasibility, analyze applicable obstruction surfaces, and prepare supporting information for formal agency or airport coordination.
