Company Overview
Aviation Projects is a multi-disciplinary consultancy, firmly focussed on achieving our purpose of a safe, secure, efficient and sustainable aviation industry.
Our unique understanding of the aviation industry and the strategic relationships we have with regulators and a broad range of industry participants positions us to provide best practice management expertise applicable to airports and flying operations.  Download our brochure here.

Airports
Airport operators are faced with increasingly complex compliance and management programs, as well a lack of affordable management expertise. We can provide independent advice or take full contractual responsibility for:

• Strategic management
• Operational management
• Upgrade and master planning
• Special projects

Flying Operations
The growth in civil aviation flying activities around the world has led to a shortage of expertise available to assist in the establishment and ongoing management of safe, secure, efficient and sustainable flying operations. Our experience in this field enables us to provide targeted expertise to assist with the full range of aviation planning, compliance and management programs.

Aeronautical Studies and Risk Management
Where aviation impacts have been identified or deviations from applicable regulations, standards or guidance are necessary, we can assist regulators, developers or operators to achieve desired outcomes through preparation of an aeronautical study or impact assessment.
We can assist with the identification of potential risks associated with a proposed course of action and development of a treatment plan in order to maintain an acceptable level of safety through preparation of a risk assessment.
We sponsor academic research into subjects that assist us to achieve our mission.
Expert witness services can also be provided.

Core Capabilities
Our expertise in airport and flying operations is focussed on three core areas of activity; planning, operations and management.

PLANNING
We assist organisations to maximise the return on their invested capital through strategic planning initiatives, analysing current circumstances, facilities and systems and proposing and implementing improvements where appropriate.

OPERATIONS
We assist aviation organisations to operate safely, securely and effectively.

MANAGEMENT
We assist organisations to achieve sustainable outcomes, assure stakeholders that their management activities comply with all relevant regulatory requirements, ensure that scarce resources are allocated to achieve quality, time or cost objectives using appropriate management techniques, and retain and distribute corporate knowledge through the development of policies, procedures and supporting documentation.


Current Issues
Runway Width, Runway Strip Width and Approach Surface Length of Inner Edge
Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is reviewing aerodrome design requirements associated with runway width, runway strip width and approach surface length of inner edge.
CASA’s latest proposal is to de-link aircraft operational limitations from the aerodrome design process, so that an aircraft operator will need to meet certain requirements and satisfy itself that there will be an acceptable level of safety before operating on a runway narrower than that specified in Manual of Standards Part 139 — Aerodromes Table 2.1-1.
CASA approval of these operations will in part be based on acceptance of an aircraft manufacturer’s flight manual supplement that details applicable operational restrictions or limitations.
Exemptions from applicable runway strip width and approach surface length of inner edge standards may still be required.
