All four authorities have purchased the Wavionix Procedures Designer Version 6.0 (WPD6) for the production of procedures to the criteria laid down by ICAO in Document 8168 PANS-OPS.

The WPD6.0 eliminates the manual trial and error process used to calculate and graphically draw procedures for the verification of obstacle protection areas. These procedures are subsequently translated into charts for pilots on aircraft.  WPD6.0 incorporates practical feed-back for users so that all variables that affect the overall procedures design, primarily fly-ability and minimum altitudes, can be checked by the procedures designer at each stage, thereby giving the user complete control throughout the entire design process.

Wavionix Managing Director, Patrick Aisher, says; "In the past 12 months Wavionix has more than doubled its market penetration internationally not only indicating the quality of Wavionix Software but also demonstrating that there is more acceptance to use software tools for this highly specialised work.  With the launch of our new airport software we intend to further develop this market sector and to follow on from the success we have established with aviation authorities worldwide.  Furthermore, we are now pursuing the military market as our market research demonstrates that now, more than ever, there is a specific need for Wavionix software tools in this area ".
