Aggregate Obstacles (Aviation)

Disponible avec une licence Aviation Charting.

Synthèse

Aggregates obstacle features within a given radius so that the highest obstacle in the group represents the entire group.

This tool groups cartographic representation of obstacle data on dense or crowded charts. Instead of being displayed individually, obstacle data will be represented as groups of obstacles based on the location of the highest obstacle in each group.

Utilisation

  • The tool uses the geometry and attribution of the obstacle at the highest Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) elevation (measured at either the base or the top of the obstacle) to represent all obstacles within a search radius of that obstacle.

  • Obstacles are considered for grouping if they are as tall or taller (height above ground level) than the provided height threshold (or the built-up area height threshold if inside a built-up area polygon).

  • You can specify whether obstacle elevations will be measured on the ground at the base of the obstacle or at the top of the obstacle.
