PEP 5.13: insight on 4th Segment

PEP 5.13

As presented during the PEP Webinar in May 2019, the


PEP5.11 had new GA function

GA obstacles: check
with 4th segment
method available

Webinar February 2020


4th segment optimization

• Method depends on regulatory basis

• To be approved by your local authority

• Applied as operator policy

Reduces workload associated with obstacle analysis
