Frequently Asked Questions

You need AirNavCAD if you're a flight procedure designer and want to quickly perform holdings, reversals, base turns, OAS, SBAS, APV, and VNAV without wasting time filling in unnecessary data. You want the parameters to appear automatically because we're designers, not magic. You want to analyze obstacle data from your own data, AIXM data, or DEM data in a simple way. AIXM can be done when needed because we know how, but we also know that not everyone needs that in the initial stages. Do you really want to pay 40k for other programs instead of trying AirNavCAD? A Spanish team of aeronautical engineers developed it to help you design easily and at a low cost.

Yes, everything in the program is based on PANS-OPS ICAO Doc 8168 and other ICAO documents.

Yes, if you obtain a license, I will provide you with training on how to use it. In addition, the online user guide is available, which is very easy to use.

Yes, you can run the program in your preferred browser.

We recommend going to the "About Us" section on the website to see it.

Yes, the program is based on an extremely lightweight CAD that allows basic CAD operations (it is not AutoCAD).

AirNavCAD uses the WGS84 UTM representation in CAD.

Yes, everything in the workspace can be exported to DXF or KML.

Yes, you can import lines, polylines, circles, and arcs from DXF, but not splines or blocks. You can also import points, lines, and surfaces from KML.

Yes, you can get the main parameters in the output and save them to a document: holding, racetrack, reversal, base turns, OAS, VNAV, PBN, etc.

Yes, they are available.

Yes, you can. It's useful because you can hide altitudes above a given altitude value.

No. You must create a txt document to upload your own obstacles in this format: Name x(UTM m) y(UTM m) z(m) o Name lat(WGS84) lon(WGS84) z(m) or unnamed if it is an xyz file exported from models such as Global Mapper.
