The track analysis allows users to determine the usability of a runway or vertiport using individual parameter limits and provides monthly and yearly evaluations.
It consists of a Track Usability Analysis and a Wind Component Analysis. In the Track Usability Analysis, the usability of a runway or vertiport is evaluated over a defined period. The Wind Component Analysis assesses wind conditions at one or more altitudes.
Benefits
Valuable input for site selection, procedure design & verification
Achieve EASA and FAA compliance
EASA states an overall track usability for a Vertiport of at least 95% should be fulfilled (Prototype Technical Specifications for the Design of VFR Vertiports) (PTS-VPT-DSN / March 2022)
Detailed understanding of required usage of prioritized and non-prioritized tracks
Certainty for stakeholders involved in the site assessment
Evaluation of track availability on given limitations
Assessment of track at multiple heights
Seasonal dependencies
Usability
The detailed analysis is used to evaluate the usability of tracks and vertiports as well as the wind conditions at the specified start and landing location.
Content
Track Usability Analysis
Detailed Track systems (monthly, yearly), overall vertiport (monthly, yearly)
Wind Component Analysis
Track Direction 360 (wind conditions over altitude, detailed wind conditions over altitude, wind conditions per month)
Creation
Analysis at different altitudes simultaneously (10m (33ft), 152m (500ft), and 305m (1000ft)).
Analysis of individual time frames and day times.
Analysis at one location at a time.
Use cases
Use cases
Useful for identifying an ideal takeoff/landing point for drone operations
Serves as an addition to NOVA to further verify takeoff and landing conditions
