FAA 18B (Aviation OIS)

Niveau de licence :BasicStandardAdvanced

Récapitulatif

Creates obstruction identification surfaces based on the FAA 18B specification. These surfaces describe airspaces that should be free of obstructions. Surfaces are used to support planning and design activities. The type, function, and dimension of a surface differ by runway classification. This tool creates surfaces as polygon or multipatch features or triangulated irregular networks (TINs).

Utilisation

Syntaxe

FAA18B_aviationois (in_features, runway_type, highend_clear_way_length, lowend_clear_way_length, airport_elevation, include_merged_surface, out_features)
ParamètreExplicationType de données
in_features

The input runway dataset. The feature class must be Z enabled and contain points, polylines, or polygons.

Feature Layer
runway_type

The runway classification of in_features.

  • NON_VERTICAL_GUIDANCE_TYPE_1A runway designed for visual maneuvers, nonvertically guided operations, and instrument departure procedures.
  • NON_VERTICAL_GUIDANCE_TYPE_2A specially prepared hard surface (SPHS) runway designed for visual maneuvers, nonvertically guided operations, and instrument departure procedures. SPHS runways have a primary surface that extends 200 feet beyond each end of the runway.
  • VERTICAL_GUIDANCEA runway that uses precision guidance systems to support aircraft approach and landing.
String
highend_clear_way_length

The length of the area at the high end of the runway, in feet. An aircraft can make a portion of its initial climb over this area.

Double
lowend_clear_way_length

The length of the area at the low end of the runway, in feet. An aircraft can make a portion of its initial climb over this area.

Double
airport_elevation

The highest point on any runway in an airport, in feet. The units for elevation are based on the specification. The tool will automatically populate this value from a z-value in your aeronautical database if you are using the AIS or Airports data model. Airport elevation is stored in the z-value of the ADHP point feature class in the AIS data model. In the Airports data model, elevation is stored in the z-value of the Airport Control Point feature class for records with the Point_Type field populated with AIRPORT_ELEVATION.

Double
include_merged_surface

Indicates whether merged horizontal and conical surfaces are included in the OIS, in addition to the regular surfaces.

  • INCLUDE_MERGED_SURFACEInclude merged surfaces in the OIS output. This is the default.
  • NOT_INCLUDE_MERGED_SURFACEDo not include merged surfaces in the OIS output.
Boolean
out_features

The output feature class or TIN that will contain the generated obstacle identification surfaces.

Exemple de code

FAA18B example (stand-alone Python script)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the FAA18B tool.

import arcpy

# set gp environment
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Aeronautical")

# Input Runway Feature Class
inFeatures = "C:\data\ois.gdb\RunwayCenterline"

# Feature class that will contain the OIS surface
outFeatures="C:\data\ois.gdb\ObstructionIdSurface"

# Airport variables
runway = "VERTICAL_GUIDANCE"
airportElev = 100

# Generate FAA1B OIS
arcpy.FAA18B_aviationois(inFeatures,runway,10,0,airportElev,
                      "INCLUDE_MERGED_SURFACE",outFeatures)
