Currently under development is an API to construct a graticule, this is primarily for our CAD customers but we thought that this might be useful for others to. The options are passed as parameters to the constructor and then a call to create the graticule will return a collection of GeoMapElement’s. You can then decide…

This is a large part in the SDK which covers many different aspects including coordinate conversions between different map projects, ability to create simply graphical types (Lines, Polygon, etc) and then display on the graphics system of your choice. Specific features in the SDK do create a collection of these geo types for you to…

Final Approach Segment (FAS) Data Block consists of a set of parameters toidentify a SBAS APV I or CAT I and to define its associated path. In some regions GBAS is supported and this is also covered. You can find documentation regarding the FAS Data Block in ICAO Document 8168 (Part III – Section 2)…

Introduction… We have just started working on a new section for the FPAssistant SDK and that it to import aviation data from many different sources. Over the years we have seen so many different data formats and our customers have had to write their own import routines. Now, in recent years some formats are becoming…

To calculate True Air Speed (TAS) we can use the IndicatedAirSpeed object. We can also retrieve the value of the K computed component. To offer flexibility, there are two constructors both require the air speed and an altitude value with a temperature variation optional. The air speed and altitude are objects in their own right.…

There is always a big question we get asked and that it is ‘How do you test your software?‘ This is kind of important as ICAO does have guidelines in place, have you seen… This specifically discusses how to validate your Flight Procedure design software that you may have developed yourself or have purchased as…

Today, we have released the latest version to NuGet, it can be downloaded directly from here. This new release contains the update to the NOTAM API giving improved features and error handling. To obtain NOTAM data, there is the initial work on supporting the FAA NOTAM Management Service and we are adding easier support for…

Having worked on the new FAA NOTAM Management Service, the Development Team (DT) have does a lot of work in supporting NOTAMs. The starting point is the Notam struct and this is made up of a series of other objects that form the NOTAM data, these being: NotamItem A through to G and also the…

The FAA have announced a new NOTAM Management Service (NMS) which is designed to modernize the delivery of critical safety information to aviation stakeholders. The new service is securely hosted in the cloud with a streamlined interface, and has a scalable and resilient architecture to accommodate current and future needs. It provides near-real-time data exchange,…

The FPAssistant SDK now offers a simply way to use the ICAO API Data Service giving you a head start in accessing the data offered by ICAO. It is important to understand that the software developer will still need to license the data access direct from ICAO and provide your ‘API KEY’, from ICAO, to…
