Clear Path

Preliminary Screening

FAA OE/AAA pre-screening support before formal filing

Prepare filing-ready information before formal coordination

Clear Path helps teams organize preliminary findings, coordinates, elevations, maps, and supporting visuals before deciding whether formal FAA OE/AAA filing or agency coordination is required, while keeping formal FAA processes separate.

• Organize preliminary findings before deciding whether formal coordination is needed.
• Generate report context that can shape follow-up questions and filing discussions.
• Avoid implying FAA integration, submission, endorsement, or approval.

Who this is for

Developers, airport sponsors, planners, engineers, consultants, and municipal teams preparing for coordination.

• Teams preparing object-height and location questions before FAA OE/AAA filing.
• Developers and consultants who want a documented preliminary screen.
• Sponsors and planners coordinating next steps with technical reviewers.

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

• Review preliminary Part 77 and supported protected-surface results before a filing or coordination decision.
• Create a report that records inputs, assumptions, source context, and limitations.
• Prepare coordinates, elevations, findings, maps, and visuals for FAA, airport sponsor, engineering, or consultant review.

What Clear Path does not do

• Does not submit to FAA OE/AAA, integrate with FAA systems, or receive FAA determinations.
• 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. Use Clear Path to screen the proposed location and height before deciding on filing or coordination.

2. Review known limitations and not-evaluated criteria before relying on the output.

3. Use the result to support discussion, not to replace FAA or sponsor review.

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.
