Creating a public facing Web App Experience to help communicate obstructions to the approach zones that pilots use to take off and land at public, state-maintained airports in Kentucky. These maps use 3D approach data and drone imagery to identify where obstructions to the approach surface occur. This visualization is then used to communicate the need for maintenance, as well as an information hub for pilots flying into Kentucky.
