This pre-planning tool is designed to assist UK wind farm developers in identifying potential aviation impacts on proposed development areas. It incorporates data from existing wind farms and radars operated by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), NATS (En Route) Plc Limited (NERL) and airports ✈ The pre-planning Aviation Impact Tool is funded by the Aviation Investment Fund Company Limited (AIFCL) in collaboration with the Onshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC), and hosted by EnergyPulse 📊 👉 https://lnkd.in/efr5UT8y This pre-planning tool is designed to assist UK wind farm developers in identifying potential aviation impacts on proposed development areas. It incorporates data from existing wind farms and radars operated by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), NATS En Route Limited (NERL) and airports ✈ Please note, this tool is intended solely as an initial guide, and all standard procedures for identifying aviation impacts, including internal assessments and external consultations with aviation stakeholders, should still be conducted. The wind farm environment is extracted from Energy Pulse database, which is working towards mapping every individual turbine. MOD and NERL have kindly provided their radar data for use in the tool. Data from the OFCOM Protected Radar list has been used. This data is known to be incomplete but being updated and validated as a work in progress 📡 #EnergyPulse #aviation #data #windfarm #mitigation #radar

Very happy that we have got to this launch day at last - it has taken lots of hard work from a determined team, and has seen great collaboration with aviation stakeholders such as MOD and NATS. Thank you everyone!
