We design the instrument flight procedures that lower your minimums and expand all-weather access — from feasibility through FAA coordination, flight inspection, and lifecycle maintenance.
A modern RNAV (GPS) approach — especially one with vertical guidance (LPV) — can dramatically lower your landing minimums, turning weather cancellations into completed flights. That means more based aircraft, more business traffic, and a stronger case for investment. But getting one approved is a complex, multi-year, multidisciplinary effort through the FAA. We manage it end to end.
Start with a feasibility study, commission individual procedures, or hand us the whole program. Indicative pricing shown — every airport is scoped individually.
Before you invest in design: can you get an approach, and how low can the minimums go?
Full design across the spectrum — to FAA TERPS / PBN criteria.
Multiple procedures designed, flight-inspected, and maintained for the long haul.
Obstacle & airspace study; what minimums are achievable.
Procedure built to TERPS / PBN criteria for your fleet.
Submission and coordination through the IFP Gateway.
Validation flight-testing of the procedure.
Publication, then periodic review & amendments.
Instrument procedures don't live on paper — they live in busy airspace, alongside live traffic and the controllers who work it. Our founder spent 14 years as a Control Tower Supervisor, with a career of air traffic control management behind it, so procedure concepts are evaluated the way ATC and the FAA will actually see them.
That perspective shapes everything from how a feasibility study frames the airspace to how a design coordinates with the controlling facility — keeping your project moving and your minimums as low as the obstacle environment allows.
Feasibility, design, and coordination support wherever you operate. Procedure criteria and approval pathways are scoped to the governing authority for your location.
Tell us your airport, your current minimums, and the operations you want to enable. We'll tell you what's achievable and what it takes to get there.
