NOTE: This evaluation uses current FAA NFDC airport data.
To evaluate future conditions or special requests or
if you have any questions please contact PY Aviation, LLC at dperry@pyaviation.com.

Inputs

Enter a name. The default name is OBS.
Enter a location. See below for location format.
Choose MSL or AGL.
AGL will retrieve the USGS terrain elevation at the location.
An AGL of zero will evaluate the terrain elevation.

Latitude and longitude can be in degrees or D M SS.SS.
For DMS add spaces between the values, no commas or other characters.
Examples:
43.251484000
-86.051498000
33 38 12.1186
-84 25 40.3104

Once you have run a particular paid location you may rerun that same location with different
settings for elevation or accuracy code without incurring additional cost.
The location latitude and longitude strings must match exactly that of the original paid evaluation.
You can use the Check User Status feature to get a listing of paid evaluations.

If either accuracy code value is set to none then no accuracy code is applied.

The Results CSV option will either download a file named results.csv or
display the data in the browser depending on the operating system and browser.

The Check User Status option will download a file named userstatus.csv or
display the data in the browser depending on the operating system and browser.
It provides the obstacle credit count and a list of evaluations performed.

Results Codes

IN-PEN - the obstacle is in the surface and it penetrates by the amount in the Penet/Clear column
IN-NOT-PEN - the obstacle is in the surface but does not penetrate by the amount in the Penet/Clear column
NOT-IN - the obstacle is not in any surface

The Applied Alt ft column is the elevation applied to the obstacle which is the MSL ft value plus any accuracy code adjustment.

The Eval Alt ft column is the elevation of the surface at the obstacle location.
The obstacle applied elevation value is compared to this value to determine penetration or not.

The Acc Code field indicates ON or OFF and the accuracy code value that is applied when ON.

HC - Horizontal Circle - circle radius 5000 feet centered on the airport location,
150 feet above airport elevation, 0 slope. Applies to airports with incomplete data.
In these cases pseudo runways may be depicted.
The default values for a pseuod runway are RW09/27, 1000 feet long and 150 feet wide
centered at the airport location. Pseudo runways are not used for surface creation.

HA PS - Heliport primary surface (helipad rectangle)
HA CS - Heliport circle - radius 4000 ft slope 8:1
HAD PS - Heliport DOD primary surface (helipad rectangle)
HAD - Heliport DOD circle - radius 4000 ft slope 10:1
