QGIS Introduction for Instrument Flight Procedure Design
The course provides the essential knowledge on the use of QGIS for Instrument Flight Procedure Design (PANS-OPS) to augment and improve workflows either for analysis using a GIS or to preprocess data to be used in an automation tool specifically designed for PANS OPS. You will learn how to extract, transform, and load different types of data for aeronautical purposes including a simple print layout.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this course participants will have the general understanding to use QGIS within the Instrument Flight Procedure Design (IFPD) requirements and:
- Understand what a GIS is and how QGIS can be leveraged to support their procedure design activities.
- Describe the difference between vector and raster datasets including the different most common formats.
- Create derived products from aeronautical data including contours, modified terrain data and features required to be assessed.
- Compose a basic layout to present the results of data analyzed.
Pre-Requisites
- General Aviation Knowledge
- Basic Computer Skills
- Access to a computer with QGIS minimum version 3.28.11 LTR but 3.32.3 is preferred[1]
[1] Some exercises may require upgraded QGIS versions, these exercises will be clearly marked if any. Long Term Release is preferred as IT departments are more likely to approve for use in production environments.
