Electronic Terrain Obstacle Data (ETOD)

What Is ETOD in Aviation?

Electronic Terrain and Obstacle Data (ETOD) refers to structured digital datasets that represent terrain surfaces and obstacles critical to safe aviation operations. ETOD supports flight procedure design, safety assessments, and airspace management by providing accurate information on natural and man-made features that could impact aircraft operations.

ETOD by Satpalda is developed specifically for aviation use, delivering reliable and compliance-ready terrain and obstacle data that aviation stakeholders can trust for operational decision-making and regulatory requirements.
