Abstract
The present work was prepared in collaboration with the Tunisian Air Company (Tunis Air) for the creation of a GIS application used for the implementation of an EOSID (Engine Out Standard Instrument Departures) process. The study area is Tabarka-Ain Draham International Airport (NW of Tunisia) and the chosen aircraft is the Boeing 737-500. This study presented the procedure to be followed in case of engine failure after takeoff which consists of changes of trajectory made in order to avoid obstacles. This would allow the aircraft to bypass the penalizing obstacles, thus eliminating the need to reduce the maximum take-off weight. The usefulness of GIS is observed in its proposed solutions: the presentation of the terrain in 3 dimensions, the presentation of the simulation of the flight as well as the possible paths to follow. This work will be very useful for aeronautical companies in the field of aviation safety.
