Haiti Relief Support

Air Navigation Data can now reveal that it’s software, Final Approach, was a vital tool to support the Canadian Forces rapid response to the human suffering in Haiti following the recent devastating earthquake. Final Approach was used to rapidly develop instrument approach procedures for Jacmel airport where none existed before. This airport, undamaged in the quake, was previously a fair-weather only airport. The new instrument approach procedures permit the Canadian Forces CC-130 Hercules cargo aircraft and CH-146 Griffin helicopters to operate when the weather is less than ideal, allowing relief flights to continue in all but the worst weather.
