EMPOWERING AVIATION PLANNERS

TRANSOFT SOLUTIONS USER GROUP ONLINE

Get an introduction to our guest speakers and their presentations for the meeting on November 25!

Infrastructure and operational planning with AviPLAN at Munich Airport
​The usage of the AviPLAN software helps Munich Airport to accomplish multiple challenges, relating to the optimization of existing airside areas, planning of construction activities as well as major apron expansion projects. Especially in the preparation of compliance documentation, AviPLAN proves as a valuable asset. Denise and Stefan will discuss different use cases of how AviPLAN is used in Munich Airport projects. They will cover examples of apron layout planning, the assessment of jet blast impact as well as the design of helicopter stands in the context of EASA certification.

Presenters: Denise stroessner, senior project manager & STEFAN FIEHWEG, AIRSIDE PLANNER  at munich airport

Denise has over 10 years experience in airport operations and works as a Senior Project Manager at Munich Airport, with special expertise in airside planning.

Her experience covers management of apron extension and operational readiness projects, apron and gate design, as well as conducting design reviews and capacity analysis in a multinational context. She also acts as an assessor in ACI safety reviews. Denise holds a bachelor degree in Aviation Management and is accredited as International Airport Professional (IAP) by the Global ICAO-ACI Airport Management Program.
Since 2016, Stefan have been working at Munich Airport, where he started  directly after graduating as an industrial engineer. Initially he was employed in the technical department and was responsible for the operation of the PBBs and the stationary ground power supply until he moved to the Airside Planning department in 2018. There he is responsible for the planning of the flight operation areas together with his colleagues. This includes planning new areas as well as planning extensive maintenance and repair projects.

Due to his training as a private pilot (PPL), which is currently still in its final stages, Stefan have been able to gain a certain amount of experience about aviation from this perspective as well.

AviPLAN use within Airbus

Presenter: Carsten frings, airside operations engineer at airbus

Picture
As a proven leader in the global aerospace sector, Airbus designs, produces and delivers innovative solutions with the aim to create a better-connected, safer and more prosperous world. Airbus offers cutting-edge products and services which span the commercial aircraft, helicopter, defence, security and space segments.Carsten Frings works as an Airside Operations Engineer at Airbus. He has been with Airbus Commercial since 2003, and has been working in Airport Operations since 2018.

During his presentation, Carsten will cover the use of External Taxi-Aid Camera Systems (ETACS) and how to model guided manoeuvres with AviPLAN, flight (ground) test data for U-Turns and how it compares with published data, plus several other AviPLAN use cases within Airbus Airside Operations.

Non-Standard Fillet Design
​
While design standards provide for nice clean taxiway intersections of 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 135 and 150 degrees many taxiway improvement or expansion projects that include connections to an existing taxiway system can be anything but the ideal standard.  Using the standard fillet design dimension (i.e. 120ᵒ or 135ᵒ for a real 128ᵒ turn) without considering the aircraft tracking can lead to either significant over construction of costly concrete pavement, or potentially dangerous under-construction where the Taxiway Edge Safety Margin (TESM) is compromised.​Using AviPLAN’s design tools to assess the requirements of a fleet mix or aircraft group as it maneuvers through the turn will help the designer develop the most cost effective and functional design for those non-standard turns.

Presenter: MIchael OSBORNE, Engineering Design Manager and Senior Design Technologist at EXP

Picture
With 30+ years of experience in transportation and infrastructure design projects, Mike is an Engineering Design Manager and Senior Design Technologist at EXP.  He has a long-standing passion for airport engineering and has provided design support and project management for a variety of aviation projects in Canada and the US. He is experienced in the preparation of designs that meet Transport Canada, FAA and ICAO standards. As part of his role Mike continues to work with design software to keep up with evolving technology and how it can be best utilized for efficient project design and delivery.  This further enables him to understand and help the design team develop options and resolve challenges as they arise. Combined with Mike’s passion for airport engineering is his previous flight experience, providing a greater understanding of airside operations and safety, from the runway to the terminal. Airport projects have included runway, taxiway, apron and gate designs at airports ranging in size from large international airports to remote gravel runways in the Canadian Arctic.

Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) Concourse E Expansion
Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) is a key airport in the US aviation transportation network and an important hub airport for American Airlines (AA). ​By 2019 (pre-COVID) CLT saw upwards of 50 million annual passengers travel through the terminal facilities.
CLT initiated a project to develop building facilities for existing regional jet gates being served at hardstand locations. Expansion of Concourse E (the Project) was begun in 2015 with design phase services. ​The Project includes an eastern expansion for 4 gates and a northern expansion for 10 gates. Additionally, the Project included installing new passenger boarding bridges at 11 existing gates that ground loaded/unloaded passengers. 

Presenter: tony dockery, principal, agd associates
