About aviaconsult

procedure design & aviation consulting operates as an individual enterprise for more than 20 years in the industry domains of aviation and air traffic management.

Sustainability
Operational Expertise
Safety and Capactity

We gained reasonable experience in design and implementation of Performance Based Navigation (PBN)
applications and conventional aeronautical procedures. The development of PBN applications requires
an interdisciplinary work scheme as the increased flexibility and existing operational,
environmental and topographical challenges may not be addressed by classical procedure design
workflows. aviaCONsult offers the advantage of combined design and operational expertise with the
primary focus on safe flight operations.

The strength of aviaCONsult – procedure design and aviation consulting is the combination of
expertise in state-of-the-art procedure design and excellent operational knowledge. The challenges
caused by fast growing PBN implementations require a consolidated view on regulatory levels and a
concept how to interlink operations, air traffic services and regulative bodies for a successful
implementation of airspace design concepts. The integration of PBN concepts into conventional and
non-conventional airspaces as well as the development of operating concepts belong to the core
expertise of aviaCONsult – procedure design & aviation consulting.
With time passing by aviaCONsult developed with customer requirements. We are not only providing
expertise in procedure design – the portfolio includes services for airlines, air navigation service
providers, governments, non-governmental organizations and adjacent industries.
Services concentrate in design activities, in the development of operating concepts, in airline
certification for selected navigational option or in services as court-appointed expert.

Over the last decade the requirement on sustainable air traffic management and sustainable aircraft
operations developed as a challenge.
aviaCONsult provides solutions for a more sustainable aviation. Whilst safety is always the priority
number one we understand the balancing of sustainability projects with requirements on environment
and capacity.
