Features

Via is a comprehensive tool for strategic deconfliction, flight management, Specific Operational Risk Assessment (SORA), and risk-minimised flight planning. Via is available as both a user-friendly web application and a fully-featured API to allow custom integration into your operations workflow.

Integration with our API offers various services to enhance your applications and meet your needs, helping elevate your product and business capabilities.

Strategic UTM Deconfliction

Operate in airspace with other traffic safely, with deconflicted route planning adhering to ASTM standards. Deconfliction can be done in time by delaying flightplans or through rerouting to avoid occupied airspace.

Risk-Minimised Flight Planning

Reduce your operation’s ground risk by optimising your flight path with our data-driven platform-specific pathing algorithms. Quantify your operational risk over your chosen flight path and use this to find risk and cost-saving alternatives.

Flight Management

One planning tool to record all your flight operations in the future, past, and present.

SORA Compliant Flight Planning and Support

Plan SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) compliant operations and find out where you are permitted to fly to ensure you comply with local regulations with new SORA versions being added all the time.

Dynamic Generation and Visualisation of UTM Volumes

Dynamically generate UTM volumes that account for various operational factors such as wind, speed, and positional errors. Visualise these volumes in real-time to help coordinate operations.

Analysis of Air Traffic to Quantify Risk Exposure

Quantify the NMAC (Near Mid-Air Collision) rate through regulated data to assess operational air risk.

Customisable Data Sources 

Select data providers based on your preference and regulatory requirements for aspects such as population, terrain, and airspaces.

Different categories of airspace mapped as 3D volumes from North England

Visualise Airspace Data

Display airspace classifications as 2D or 3D polygons with relevant airspace meta data to ensure your flightplan stays within its permissions.

Analyse Terrain Across your Flightpath

See the effect of terrain on your operations and better help gauge elevation changes.

SORA Flightplan Analysis

Rapidly identify required permissions and mitigations by quickly iterating over options to find a solution that works best for you.

Generate Complex Operations

Plan operations with many waypoints and automatically generate complex structures such as raster patterns, to streamline your planning processes.

Geocage and Airspace Constraints

Keep operations on track by marking out a geocage to keep within, or airspace constraints to keep your aircraft away from.

SORA Visualisations

Easily understand SORA with visual map overlays to see your operational restrictions and semantic model.

See where you can operate

Know your authorisations? Provide your permissions and mitigations to easily view where you are allowed to fly to quickly assess operational feasibility.

SORA Training and Education

Not familiar with SORA? Learn about SORA with our technical breakdowns and diagrams to better understand how you can keep your operations compliant.

Bespoke SORA Configurations

Across an operation, create bespoke SORA configurations to help open up your operation’s potential whilst staying within regulatory permissions.
