RAS was contracted by the PANY&NJ to develop an obstruction chart for John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and data submission to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport GIS (AGIS) portal and the Port Authority of NY & NJ (PA) Interactive Airport Layout Plan (iALP) system. The basis for this study was the acquisition of new digital imagery with Airborne GPS/IMU and low-altitude LiDAR datasets in order to develop accurate approach plain obstruction data to be overlaid on digital orthophotos.
The survey information collected during this project will be utilized to develop an obstruction chart for John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and data submission to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport GIS (AGIS) portal and the Port Authority of NY & NJ (PA) Interactive Airport Layout Plan (iALP) system. It will also be used in the development of United States Standard for Instrument Approach Procedures (TERPS) and One-Engine Inoperative (OEI) surfaces to be utilized in the PA’s iALP system.
