As you may or may not know, the OAS software (as well as the CRM software) are currently not supported, because the company that was maintaining it went bankrupt.However, in PANS-OPS reference is still made to the software for ILS procedure design.The current version is 3.3. For ILS, as far as I have seen, the software performs ok. For APV procedures not so much. We can ignore APV II as that concept does not exist anymore.In APV I we have the following problems:1. The C coefficient of the W' surface is wrong. It is calculated CW'=-50+RDH.tan(0.75VPA)/tanVPA.
Whatever the VPA the result will always be the same at a given RDH. At an RDH of 15m this value is off by 1m.2. As a result of the above the X coordinates of point C is also wrong. That coordinate is calculated X= CW' /AW', (C of W' as absolute value).
The Y coordinate is also wrong of course. The Y of point C however needs to be calculated with the X surface coefficients. Y=(Z-C-AX)/B, where A, B, C are X surface coefficients and X is the X of point C that you calculated above.Important note: Whoever doesn't get that math and is not familiar with the surface equation:a) leave the OAS surfaces alone!!!b) book the ILS Master Class or the advanced PBN course with us.Then recalculate X/Y of point C as described above.3. When the RDH is NOT 15m, there is a correction algorithm that moves all surfaces up and down by the delta of the RDH. That is the correct way for all surfaces except the W'. That one must be calculated in a different way:AW'=tan(0.75VPA)CW'=–50 + RDH tan(0.75θ)/tan(θ) for APV I4. As a result of 3) above, the intersection of the W' and the W surface must be recalculated (point C'):X=(CW-CW')/(AW'-AW).Y=(Z-C-AX)/Y, where A,B,C are surface coefficients of the X surface, X is the X of point C' as calculated just before.Z=AX+C, where A,C are either the W or the W' surface coefficients.Again: If you do not understand that easily, DO NOT TOUCH the OAS!
Final Approach – Instrument Procedure Design AutomationFinal Approach, through its fully integrated and automated design, eliminates the need for time consuming outdated manual instrument procedure design methods. By providing unparalleled accuracy and design consistency, while enhancing user knowledge through it’s unique user feedback mechanism, Final Approach greatly reduces the possibility of human error while dramatically increasing productivity.
Fully Integrated Procedure Design ToolFinal Approach is a complete and fully integrated tool. There are no third-party tools to buy and maintain: just add your data and you’re set to go. Competing tools usually rely on an underlying third-party Computer Aided Design (CAD) package or (even worse!) a spreadsheet that increases complexity and training time. Design Procedures For Use Anywhere in the WorldYou can design a procedure for use anywhere in the world with Final Approach.
Procedures can be based either on the ICAO PANS-OPS criteria or the FAA TERPS criteria. Design Any Kind of ProcedureFinal Approach can design any kind of procedure, based either on traditional, land-based navaids or satellite-based nav systems. The Enterprise Edition of Final Approach is suitable for larger procedure design offices with more than one or two designers. The data is held on a server and each Final Approach workstation accesses the data over a network. All procedure designs are held on the server as well so that data integrity and traceability are maintained. This configuration supports the simultaneous design of multiple procedures of all supported types around the globe. The Enterprise Edition is supplied fully configured and includes:.
