Reflective surfaces near aerodromes
This dataset covers reflective surfaces located near aerodromes in Switzerland, such as solar panels or reflective facades, which can create glare that disturbs pilots depending on the angle of sunlight. It relates to planned installations within areas defined under ICAO Annex 14, Volume I, chapter 5.3.1.3, where potential glare effects must be assessed. The data is published by the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA), part of the Swiss Confederation, and supports aviation safety assessments concerning construction projects near airports and aerodromes across the country.Depending on the angle of the sun's rays, glare caused by reflective surfaces (e.g. solar panels or reflective facades) can become a disturbing source of light for pilots. In the case of planned installations within the relevant areas according to ICAO Annex 14, Vol. I, chapter 5.3.1.3, whose insta…
