  4. From AIS to AIMAIM as a core ATM enabler • Traditional AIS • AIS is a set of paper products and manual processes • Aeronautical Information Management • System to system exchange of aeronautical information • Global interoperability • Integrated data sets • Single entry multiple views • Customer Service (Civil and military) • Flight planning and briefing • Aircraft • ATC automation • Traffic management • Notice to Airmen

  5. Global ATM Vision • Provide “a holistic, cooperative and collaborative decision-making environment, where the diverging expectations and interests of all members of the ATM community are balanced to achieve equity and access.” • “Information management provides accredited, quality-assured and timely information used to support ATM operations.” From ICAO Doc 9854 Global ATM Operational Concept (1.9.1) From ICAO Doc 9854 Global ATM Operational Concept (2.15)

  6. What does the Global ATM Operational Concept tell us? • Need a move to seamless global air traffic management • Internationally harmonized and globally interoperable ATM system • ATM includes seven capabilities • Manage airspace • Demand and capacity balancing • Aeronautical operations • Traffic synchronization • Conflict management • Airspace user operations • ATM service delivery management • AIM/Information Services • Provide the information services necessary to support the seven ATM capabilities

  7. Enabling flight operations Provide common operating picture of aeronautical situation Monitor quality Control quality Provide information sharing Integrate data (historical, planning and operational) Provide decision information support Role of AIM in supporting ATM ATM AIM AeronauticalCommonOperatingPicture

  8. What is missing in AIM today? • Manage airspace • Demand and capacity balancing • Aerodrome operations • Traffic synchronization • Conflict management • Airspace user operations • ATM service delivery management Global ATM capabilities How should AIM support these ATM capabilities?

  9. Supporting all phases of flight
