Preliminary Screening
Airport obstruction evaluation tool for project feasibility
Screen project feasibility before design decisions harden
Clear Path helps airport managers, airport planners, engineers, consultants, and developers evaluate proposed cranes, buildings, towers, and other objects against supported airport, FAA, and DoD planning surfaces before project commitments advance.
- Move from rough feasibility questions to a documented preliminary screen.
- See surface applicability, map context, and report-ready output in one workflow.
- Give reviewers clearer assumptions before formal coordination starts.
Who this is for
Airport managers, airport planners, civil engineers, aviation consultants, developers, and planning teams.
- Airport managers reviewing proposed nearby work.
- Engineers and consultants preparing early planning exhibits.
- Developers and planners who need a structured first-pass obstruction screen.
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
- Screen proposed structures against supported airport, FAA, and DoD protected-surface criteria.
- Visualize runway context, object location, and surface applicability before report review.
- Create preliminary reports that preserve assumptions, criteria metadata, and limitations for coordination.
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
Enter airport, runway, object location, elevation, and criteria context.
Run the evaluator to separate clear, penetrating, not applicable, and not evaluated surfaces.
Review map, 3D, and report outputs before design decisions or formal coordination.
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.
Validation coverage, known limitations, and report metadata stay visible so buyers can see where the current release is supported and where follow-on review remains required.
