Built by the people who used to sign the inspections
TarmacView's founders spent decades measuring PAPI lights for state aviation authorities. In 2023 they left to rebuild the method itself, using drone, RTK, and AI in place of the inspection aircraft.
From the authority's side of the table
Jaroslav Šulc and Štefan Dusza spent decades at official aviation authorities, measuring PAPI lights and flying inspections across Europe. After hundreds of aircraft-based missions, they knew the method’s costs, delays, and emissions firsthand. They left their state positions in 2023 to replace it.
They partnered with Viktor Zeman, an AI and software expert, and Tomáš Meliško, a business strategist and investor. Together they bring aviation expertise, technical innovation, and business acumen to one founding team.
The team
AVIATION · AI · ENGINEERING · OPERATIONS · BUSINESS
Business strategist and investor. Ex-CEO of InoCloud, innovation hubs at HB Reavis, Imperial College background. Growth, partnerships, fundraising.
AI and software expert. Built the visual-computing and post-processing pipeline behind the platform's measurement accuracy, and guides the engineering team.
25+ years in aviation, hundreds of flight-inspection missions at Slovak aviation authorities. PAPI measurement, ICAO standards, airfield procedures.
UAS operations expert. Until 2024 at Czech and Slovak civil-aviation institutions, integrating unmanned systems into shared airspace.
Built most of the TarmacView application, including the drone mission-planning module, which received the Dean's Award for that work.
Beyond PAPI
WHAT WE DOAngle, photometric intensity, beam transition and position verified to ±3′ against reference instruments, built to ICAO, EASA or FAA.
Pattern, chromaticity, intensity, coverage, dimming steps and the sequenced flashing row, unit by unit.
Cracks, spalls, joint breakdown and FOD found and located from a low serpentine scan of the pavement.
Verification that nothing penetrates the ICAO Annex 14 protection surface over an approach.
Generated within minutes in your authority's format, ICAO, EASA or FAA.
RTK GNSS positioning to ±1 cm, so every visit repeats the same flight path.
Built for both sides of the runway
Airports get compliant inspections without closures. Certified drone operators get a new service line through the partner program.
