Aeronautical Surveys
Precision From Above — Mapping the Skies That Drive Aviation Safety and Infrastructure Excellence
Core Service Description
Acurise delivers authoritative aeronautical survey services that meet the exacting standards required by civil aviation authorities, airport operators, and infrastructure developers across the MENA region. Our expert teams employ state-of-the-art GNSS positioning systems, airborne LiDAR, and high-resolution photogrammetric imaging to capture accurate spatial data within and around controlled airspace environments.
From obstacle limitation surface (OLS) surveys and instrument flight procedure (IFP) data collection to runway and taxiway as-built documentation, our aeronautical surveys are engineered for absolute accuracy. Every dataset we deliver is processed against international ICAO Annex 15 and PANS-OPS standards, ensuring your project meets global regulatory compliance from day one.
With Dubai’s rapidly expanding aviation infrastructure — from major international hubs to new regional airports — the demand for precision aeronautical data has never been higher. Acurise is your trusted partner for delivering that data with uncompromising reliability.
1. How Aeronautical Surveys Work — and Why They Matter
Aeronautical surveying is the specialized discipline of collecting and verifying precise geospatial data within and around airports, heliports, and controlled airspace corridors. Unlike standard topographic surveys, aeronautical data collection must adhere to stringent accuracy thresholds — often within centimeters — because even minor positional errors can directly impact flight safety.
Our survey teams deploy dual-frequency GNSS receivers combined with inertial measurement units (IMUs) to achieve sub-decimeter accuracy across large aerodrome environments. Obstacle data — including buildings, towers, terrain, and vegetation — is captured in full 3D, then validated against established safety surfaces to identify any encroachments that could pose a risk to approaching or departing aircraft.
This data feeds directly into aerodrome charts, electronic terrain and obstacle data (eTOD) libraries, and navigation databases used by aircraft operators worldwide. In short, the quality of an aeronautical survey determines the safety of every flight operation at that facility.
