Full design of approaches — satellite (RNAV/GPS), conventional (ILS/VOR/TACAN), and radar (PAR/ASR) — plus departures and arrivals, all to FAA TERPS / PBN criteria, coordinated through the FAA and supported through flight inspection.
We design to current TERPS and Performance Based Navigation criteria, optimized for the lowest practical minimums your obstacle environment allows — across the full spectrum: satellite-based RNAV (GPS), conventional ILS/VOR/TACAN, controller-guided PAR/ASR radar approaches, and the departure and arrival routes that round out your airport's instrument capability.
We prepare and coordinate the package through the FAA's IFP Gateway, respond through the review cycle, and support the flight-inspection step that validates the procedure before publication — whether it's a public-use procedure or a private special.
We design the full spectrum — choose a family to dig into the types, criteria, and indicative cost. Every procedure is scoped individually.
Flight inspection is coordinated separately (~$15K–$20K). Public-use procedures are published by the FAA; private specials are issued to the requesting operator.
Sponsors who've confirmed feasibility and want a specific approach or departure designed and carried through FAA coordination — or operators who need a private special procedure tailored to their aircraft and operation.
Built to TERPS / PBN criteria by a team that understands ATC coordination first-hand — so the design fits how the procedure will actually be flown and controlled.
Tell us the runway, the minimums you're after, and the aircraft you serve — we'll recommend the procedure type and a per-procedure quote.
