QGIS is a powerful open-source GIS software used for charting. With its ability to create detailed maps of flight paths, airport layouts, and support flight planning and navigation, QGIS supports a range of data formats, making it an accessible and cost-effective tool producing aeronautical charts. Explore the power of open-source solutions for aeronautical charting with QGIS that we intend to provide.
My experience over the years of what you need to learn to start working in Aeronautical Charting and PANS OPS
Obstacle Limitation Surfaces Videos now available online! If you missed the live event this is your opportunity
We attended the ICAO Obstacle Limitation Surfaces Symposium and here is our review
I did a YouTube video no how you can read AIXM 5.1 vertical structures, which is where the obstacle data is stored. As more countries start releasing their data in formats like AIXM there is an increasing need to be able to read the format and extract the relevant information. Read more…
If you are using QGIS for aviation you may not have aeronautical symbology or styles, this is my first share of a Restricted Area style for using in your charts.
Just showcasing the new NDB svg symbol made to be used in QGIS for aeronautical charting, a few years ago I started making a few and now I will continue updating more of them until I got 1:1 parity with the ICAO aeronautical charting manual. You can use for free Read more…
Over the last few weeks I have been preparing material for an upcoming aeronautical charting course to be delivered this 2020. It is a lot of reading of different ICAO SARPs between annexes and documents due to the nature of the data we are using, as such I started thinking Read more…
Test using HTML & CSS rendering in QGIS for aviation charting
Quick post on ENR Obstacles, I am preparing a course where we need to design several parts of an instrument flight procedure and I usually start with the minimum sector altitudes (MSA) To calculate these we need to do a 25NM radius around a significant point, ARP or HRP, in Read more…
