Meteorological services, including warning notices for adverse meteorological conditions or dedicated weather forecast delivery for aeronautical proposes, including siting evaluation based on historical meteorological data.

Aeronautical meteorological forecasting for minor airports, airfields, helicopters and/or UAV operations or for areas affected by other activities (e.g. outdoor events, transport and mobility, sustainable power-generation facilities).

ENAV provides meteorological observations and reports for the main Italian airports. Thanks to our experience, we can support the owners of private airports, airfields, helicopter stands and/or unmanned aircraft system operators to define, implement or provide dedicated services and related systems for low-level weather forecasting. A more detailed forecast can be produced with the aid of an easy-to-install light automatic weather station, capable of automatically providing wind, air/dew temperature and pressure data to forecasters through web-based applications that are also accessible from mobile devices or via telephone transmission.

Weather data can also be provided locally to pilots and other users to improve weather awareness in operations. Assessment of compliance with ICAO requirements for the siting of sensors and airport weather systems and support for the usability of meteorological information is also considered a major target in operational safety.

Electro-Magnetic Compatibility Admin Mon, 05/17/2021 - 12:34

Electro-magnetic compatibility studies support customers in identifying and evaluating all the aspects needed to ensure the electromagnetic compatibility of a new development project and the implementation of a future operational scenario in the aeronautical field. The impact evaluation is mainly based on the use of simulation systems and permits analysis of visibility; analysis of radioelectric coverage of a single station or an entire network; analysis of radioelectric performance in accordance with the specific device and in compliance with applicable ICAO requirements; and electro-magnetic interference (EMI) analysis. Thanks to the advanced dedicated IT equipment, the output can be provided in document format (Word/PDF) or digital format (KMZ) as maps viewable in Google Earth. Our activity simulates radioelectric performance and operational parameters of radio navigation aids, telecommunications, and radar devices.

Acquisition of data provided by customers using the existing and updated ENAV database combined with the latest methods and most advanced equipment available on the market, to ensure that a new installation (infrastructures and/or emission sources) will not impact other systems in use (e.g., including ATM, CNS and MET services equipment), also evaluating potential interference among different devices operating in the same operational environment. Regarding the development and implementation of a new operational environment, electro-magnetic compatibility studies enable the assessment of the existing NAVAID infrastructure (e.g., configuration of radar, DME/DME, etc.), proposing mitigations if necessary. The findings of EMC analysis can help define optimal equipment/system siting and/or to perform specific signal propagation and coverage analysis and performance assessment.

In the field of electro-magnetic compatibility, thanks to the technology and the professional skills of our team, we can provide a complete detailed assessment study covering operational aspect of the aeronautical environment. Whenever an EMC study is needed, we are well prepared to analyse and evaluate all interference and impacts on the operational environment, considering all relevant findings. Our experience has been gained with programmes involving the installation of new CNS systems (Communication, Navigation and Surveillance), the preparation of airport development plans and the Implementation of future operational environments. Our team’s highly specialized engineering skills are the key factor of our successful outputs, because they enable us to provide not just simple reliable results but also to place them in the aeronautical context to give customers a comprehensive view of complex operational environments.

Environmental Impact Analysis Admin Mon, 05/17/2021 - 12:29

Air transport, like all human activities, has an impact on the surrounding environment. The attention paid to these effects has grown considerably in the last decade, mainly with a view to intervening right from the design stage to ensure the sustainability of a business, reducing environmental impact as much as possible. The environmental impact analysis service offers a detailed understanding of environmental performance. This service can be performed on a stand-alone basis or in the context of broader consulting projects to validate the proposed design.

The main areas of environmental interest and assessment are, on a global and local scale, the global climate change (i.e., greenhouse gas emissions), noise and local air quality, electro-magnetic emissions, land consumption.

We are proud to offer our environmental impact analysis service, which is based on internationally acknowledged methodologies and modelling tools and conducted by our experienced team, which can conduct evaluations from an environmental perspective in both real and simulated contexts. As it is constantly involved in work groups on both Italian (ENAC) and international committees (ICAO, CANSO and EUROCONTROL), including European research and development (SESAR), our team has gained considerable experience on commercial projects in Italy and abroad that require an assessment of environmental impact and CO2 emissions. Our analysis can produce an assessment of the influence that a plan or project might have or has had on the environment during implementation. The assessment can also help governments or non-governmental organizations to decide whether to proceed with a project or not. We therefore help you to improve your business while monitoring the environmental aspects.
