ACA is among the nation’s experts on Aeronautical Obstruction Surveys. Our aviation trained staff has accomplished aerial data acquisition for the major airports . Our airport projects include GPS control surveys, FAA obstruction analysis, and ALP base mapping. We have the capacity and resources to provide geospatial services for any of your FAA/NOAA/NGS airport needs.
ACA Specializes in FAA Advisory Circular Part 16A, 17B, and 18B Services
As aviation mapping specialists, ACA has over 36 years of experience conducting and preparing mapping surveys for airports. We offer precise and detailed technology for identifying airport obstructions and mitigations.
ACA operates multiple aerial aircraft with Airborne GPS (ABGPS) and Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) technology for Image acquisition. To produce highly accurate 3D models of bare earth and above ground objects and obstructions, such as towers, buildings, and vegetation, ACA’s geospatial toolbox includes Fixed Wing Digital UCX Imaging and Low Altitude LAMP Helicopter Mapping. In addition, where appropriate, ACA’s advanced approach includes simultaneous LiDAR 400KHZ acquisition along with the UCX digital system, saving time and money on each project. Once combined, these geo-referenced images and 3D data are exceptional for obstruction analysis of existing or future runways and airspace.
ACA is known for delivering precision and accurate airport data and has accomplished comprehensive photogrammetric mapping of airport facilities with all mapping and surveying meeting or exceeding the FAA/NOAA/NGS specifications and requirements.
