Aerodrome survey operations

Aerodrome Surveys

International military and civilian aerodrome surveys delivering regulator-ready datasets to ICAO, EASA ADR, CAA eTOD and safeguarding requirements, and UK MOD requirements.

Global aviation surveying expertise

We operate internationally across military and civilian aviation infrastructure. We support the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, airport operators, and aviation authorities with compliant aerodrome surveying, safeguarding inputs, and aeronautical datasets aligned to ICAO guidance and national regulations.

What clients value most

WGS-84 implementation aligned to ICAO Doc 9674 guidance (geodetic control networks, ARP and key aerodrome points)
ICAO Annex 15 eTOD deliverables, plus safeguarding and OLS assessments (as applicable)
UK MOD and international military standards for airfield infrastructure and operational environments
Long-term dataset continuity, including efficient check surveys when we are the original data producers
FASM.cloud: our flagship software portal for safeguarding workflows, obstacle assessments, and audit-ready reporting

If you are maintaining eTOD or safeguarding datasets over time, we place strong emphasis on traceability, defensible methodology, and consistent outputs from survey through to compliance reporting.
