FME For Planning and Data Management

• UAS = Sensors– Acoustic, sound, vibration– Automotive, transportation– Chemical– Electric current, electric

potential, magnetic, radio– Environment, weather,

moisture, humidity– Flow, fluid velocity– Ionizing radiation,

subatomic particles– Navigation instruments– Position, angle,

displacement, distance, speed, acceleration

– Optical, light, imaging, photon

– Pressure– Force, density, level– Thermal, heat,

temperature– Proximity, presence

Airspace Planning

Airspace Planning• Geography• Topology• Airspace• Population• Altitude• Time

Operational Planning• Planning Locations

– Project Feasibility Study

• FME to ESRI– Locational Methods

• Addresses• Coordinates• Place Names• Mile Markers

– Locational Formats• Websites• Emails• CSV• Access……

Operational Planning

• Area Delineation• Point Delineation• FME KML to Excel– COA Application

Nearest VOR• Compares the flight location to the

nearest VOR– Very High Frequency Omni-Directional

Range– Name and Call Letters– Type and Distance

• Displays in Google Earth• Data is added to excel for the COA

applicationCall Letters File Name associated_airport Fix Type NameSGH Springfield_VOR-DME_US KSGH 1.83141248651853 VOR-DME Wilmington Airpark

Flight Area

• Uses GEOName.org Transformer to get elevation

• Max AGL then used to calculate altitude

• Displays in KML in 3D

FAA Sectional Charts

• Locates, crops and adds the sectional charts image to KML– Sectional chart

web service not used in case of lack of GE knowledge or internet service

• Images used in COA application

Point Display for COA Application

• Graphical coordinate display

• Display DDMMSS or just point number
