Preliminary Screening

Airfield imaginary surfaces software for planning workflows

Visualize imaginary surfaces with screening reports

Clear Path helps teams visualize and evaluate supported imaginary surfaces so planning conversations start with clearer geometry, assumptions, and limitations.

  • Pair surface visualization with applicability-first evaluation logic.
  • Keep map, 3D, and report context aligned around the same inputs.
  • Avoid overclaiming unsupported criteria by keeping limitations explicit.

Who this is for

Airfield planners, airport engineers, consultants, safety reviewers, and program teams.

  • Airfield planning teams comparing proposed objects with runway-relative surfaces.
  • Airport engineers and consultants preparing review materials.
  • Program teams that need explainable geometry and report traceability.

What Clear Path does

Clear Path supports preliminary obstruction screening, protected-surface visualization, and report-ready planning context for supported criteria paths.

What Clear Path helps with

  • Visualize runway-relative protected-surface context in map and 3D views.
  • Review supported Part 77, FAA AC, and DoD/UFC pathways only where current criteria support allows.
  • Generate reports that keep criteria metadata, calculation basis, and limitations together.

What Clear Path does not do

  • Does not issue FAA, DoD, airport sponsor, engineering, surveying, legal, or other official approval.
  • Does not replace formal FAA OE/AAA filing, airport coordination, sponsor review, DoD review, or professional engineering judgment.
  • Does not treat unsupported, dependency-gated, or partial criteria as clearance, compliance, or a no-hazard finding.

Supported workflow summary

  1. Select the airfield, runway pair, runway end, criteria family, and object inputs.

  2. Use applicability-first results to avoid treating every nearby surface as a simultaneous conflict.

  3. Review documentation and known limitations before forwarding outputs.

Review before relying on results

Clear Path outputs are preliminary screening and decision-support materials. They do not replace FAA, DoD, airport sponsor, command, engineering, surveying, legal, safety, environmental, or other official approval processes.

Trust and validation

Documentation and known limitations explain which criteria are supported, partial, dependency-gated, or outside the current release.
