Innovative Software for Safe Airport Operations
For airport planners, tracking permanent and temporary obstacles at the airport or in its vicinity is vital for safe operations. SkySAFE™, a CAD-based software, allows users to accurately and efficiently analyze obstacles to ensure these do not penetrate or threaten the obstacle limitation surfaces (OLS) defined in regulatory guidelines. SkySAFE is an effective tool for airport planners, operators and safety managers involved in protecting and monitoring the airfield and its runway departure and approach paths.
Analyze existing or potential obstacles in an airport's surrounding environment to meet regulatory guidelines.

What Makes SkySAFE Unique
Reduce time-consuming tasks
Effortlessly build, edit, rebuild, and assess limitation surfaces of any imported obstacle or terrain in minutes. Resulting in a reduction in CAD drawing time and decreased plan generation costs. The software detects obstacle and terrain violations with defined limitation surfaces and obstacle-free zones, to help you avoid costly errors.
Make better, more-informed decisions
SkySAFE features a toolset to analyze obstacle interference and clearance compliance to help make informed decisions. The software allows you to clearly identify obstacles that require review, both with high-conspicuity labeling in the drawing and in complete export CSV reports.
Comply with regulatory standards
With regulations built-in, there is no need to cross reference multiple documents. Compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and several other national regulatory frameworks helps to ensure maximum safety in all aircraft operations.
Use with ease and accuracy
SkySAFE’s workflow processes ensure that no critical entry item is missed. The software is based on user input and software program methods that provide the utmost in accuracy with regard to items such as runway types (lengths and widths), displaced thresholds, longitudinal runway elevations, surface locations and dimensions, and overall 3D depictions.

Logical Workflow for Accuracy and Ease of Use
SkySAFE’s workflow processes that ensure that no critical entry item is missed. The software is based on user input and software program methods that provide the utmost in accuracy with regard to items such as runway types (lengths and widths), displaced thresholds, longitudinal runway elevations, surface locations and dimensions, and overall 3D depictions. All this means a reduction in CAD drawing time and decreased plan generation costs.
Fixed or Temporary Obstacles
Once an airport’s operational environment has been modeled with SkySAFE, only a few clicks are required to analyze the impact of fixed objects such as buildings, power lines, lighting pylons or trees. What’s more, these same commands can also be used to quickly and efficiently analyze temporary obstacles, such as mobile cranes. Obstacles are uniquely numbered with logical filtering to review only those that penetrate the protected airspace, quantified with the delta elevation above the surface.
International and National Regulations
SkySAFE features a toolset to generate ICAO, EASA, FAA, Transport Canada, BMVBW (Germany) or PSA (France) limitation surfaces in a 2D or 3D environment.
Terrain Interference Analysis
SkySAFE offers functions for fast and reliable analysis based on geographical input. These capabilities can be utilized to create a SkySAFE terrain from imported survey coordinate data, or reference an Autodesk Civil 3D® surface, to assess resulting clearances and potential interference with approach and departure procedures.
Complex Multi-runway Environments
Accurately model an airport’s operational environment, with single or multiple runways, parallel or crossing. A single merged surface model can be generated for all runways, or surfaces can be created individually, all in just a matter of seconds. Further details such as contour lines or cross sections can be added to further communicate results.

Licensing Options
Transoft Solutions offers a range of licensing preferences for the majority of our software. These different options were developed to help small, sole proprietorships right on up to the largest multinational companies meet their transportation design and analysis needs in the most efficient manner possible. Transoft software uses our own proprietary licensing technology that allows for ease of deployment and flexibility to upgrade at anytime.
STANDALONE LICENSE
A Standalone (single user) license installs the software onto one workstation and is intended for a single user. This license is tied to the workstation and cannot be moved or shared with other users. Software activation is an easy process and can be done over the Internet.
Advantages of a Standalone License:
- Standalone licenses are ideal for small offices and dedicated users as they do not require network connectivity to run and often cost less than comparable network licenses for the same product.
NETWORK LICENSE
A network license allows everyone within an office location to access the software from the company server with one person concurrently using at a time. Network licenses are not tied to a particular workstation or user. Multiple network license seats can be purchased and a license server keeps track of how many licenses are in use at one time. When a Transoft Solutions software on a network license starts, it first checks to see if a network license is available to use. If so, a license is then checked out from the pool of licenses. When a user exits the application, the license gets checked back into the pool making it available to other users.
Advantages of a Network License:
- Network licensing simplifies software asset management because the licenses are resident on license managers instead of on each of the workstations across the network. The license manager can be configured to log historical usage data.
- Licenses are available to all workstations connected to the company server network software asset utilization.
