Preliminary Screening

FAA Part 77 fixed-wing surface analysis software

Analyze Part 77 surfaces before project decisions harden

Clear Path supports detailed preliminary Part 77 fixed-wing surface analysis by checking supported primary, approach, transitional, horizontal, and conical surfaces, applicability, and elevation comparisons before teams move into formal FAA review paths.

  • Review supported Part 77 fixed-wing surface outcomes without treating the analysis as a formal FAA determination.
  • Separate evaluated, not applicable, and not-evaluated results.
  • Keep validation coverage and non-certification language attached to the report path.

Who this is for

Airport sponsors, planners, engineers, developers, consultants, and municipal review teams.

  • Teams evaluating proposed objects near civil airport runway environments.
  • Consultants who need a preliminary Part 77 support exhibit.
  • Sponsors and planners who need early issue spotting before formal FAA coordination.

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

  • Run supported FAA Part 77 fixed-wing surface analysis using structured runway and object inputs.
  • Identify likely primary, approach, transitional, horizontal, and conical surface penetrations.
  • Review validation coverage and criteria support before relying on a screening path.

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. Confirm the airport/runway context and selected runway end.

  2. Run Part 77 analysis and review clear, boundary, violation, and not-evaluated outputs.

  3. Use the report as planning support before FAA coordination, not as a formal determination.

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

Part 77 logic is tested against synthetic and real-airport validation coverage, while unsupported or dependency-gated cases remain labeled instead of being promoted to clearance.
