Wind Farms & Turbines

Comprehensive aeronautical impact assessments for wind energy projects — ensuring regulatory compliance with aviation authorities.

Wind Farms & Turbines

As wind energy developments expand, the height and electromagnetic properties of turbines pose significant challenges to civil and military aviation. Altitude Nexus provides developers and aviation authorities with technical certainty through 3D spatial modelling and regulatory expertise.

Aeronautical Obstacle Analysis

We evaluate whether proposed wind turbines constitute an obstacle under ICAO Annex 14 and national regulations. ASIT supports batch CSV upload to analyse entire wind farms — hundreds of turbines — against OLS and OAS surfaces in a single operation.

  • ICAO Annex 14 obstacle assessment
  • OLS infringement analysis
  • OAS / flight procedure impact
  • ATS route conflict assessment
  • Mitigation recommendations
  • Batch analysis via ASIT CSV upload

Radar & CNS Interference

Wind turbines can cause significant interference with primary and secondary surveillance radar (PSR/SSR) and navigation aids. We conduct detailed Line-of-Sight (LoS) analyses and assess electromagnetic compatibility with VHF, DME, ILS, GNSS and ADS-B systems.

  • Primary radar LoS analysis
  • Secondary surveillance radar (SSR)
  • ILS / VOR signal degradation
  • GNSS & ADS-B impact assessment
  • ADLS (Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems)
  • EMC mitigation report

Regulatory Coordination & Submissions

We manage the complete aeronautical consultation process with civil aviation authorities, ANSPs, and defence agencies. We prepare and submit all technical documentation required for planning consent and operational approval.

  • CAA / ANSP consultation management
  • Ministry of Defence coordination
  • Planning authority submission packages
  • Stakeholder engagement & follow-up

Regulatory Framework

  • ICAO Annex 14 Vol I — Obstacle Limitation Surfaces
  • ICAO Annex 10 — Aeronautical Telecommunications (CNS interference)
  • EASA NPA 2017-06 — Wind turbines and aerodrome safeguarding
  • ICAO Doc 8168 — PANS-OPS procedure impact assessment

Powered by ASIT

ASIT supports bulk wind turbine analysis via CSV upload, enabling impact assessment of entire wind farms against all relevant surfaces in seconds — dramatically reducing analysis time.
