Every request for opinion on wind turbines is analysed with regard to its potential impact on the technical installations (Systems for radio navigation, radar and communication) that skeyes manages. It is also examined whether the installation at the requested location does not disrupt operations, more specifically the visual reporting points and the holding locations and flight procedures (Obstacle free zones around controlled airports) for the airports that skeyes manages.
The criteria that skeyes uses are based on ICAO regulations, studies commissioned by skeyes, international studies in which skeyes participated (Eurocontrol among others), international guidelines, information exchanged in various fora in which skeyes actively participates (ICAO, Eurocontrol, etc.), experience of other air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and skeyes’s own experience.
Publication obstacle
At least 30 days before the start of the wind turbine works, the prime contractor has to contact skeyes so as to allow the new obstacle to be published in the AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication).
