Building blocks of AIXM 5 • International standards • Engineering practices • Coverage of the AIXM 5 data model • Scope of aeronautical information • Emerging “partner” standards Explaining AIXM 5 • Mission and Objectives
Mission and Objectives • Standards-based data model and exchange format that can satisfy the aeronautical information exchange requirements for current and future aeronautical information applications • Based on global aeronautical data requirements • ICAO standards and practices • Industry requirements • Support current and future AIM information system requirements • Digital Aeronautical Information Publications (AIPs) • Automated charting and publications • Integrated digital NOTAMs • Aerodrome Mapping Databases and applications • Situational displays
Aeronautical Information is geospatial • Locations • Airspace boundaries • Airport layouts • Routes • Cartography • Bearings
Commissioning A new runway Decommissioning Closing a runway Temporary changes Declared distance changes during day and night Partial runway closures Field conditions caused by weather Aeronautical Information changes in Time XXXXXXXX
What is a VOR? Are you a cartographer, pilot, flight inspector, frequency engineer, airspace officer, obstacle evaluator, facilities service technician? Aeronautical Information is complex Located at an Airport Has coverage areas Used on an enroute Route Used on a Departure Procedure Has owner/operator Provides angle indication for a fix
Aeronautical information is criticality Data quality?

AIXM is based on International Standards Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) ISO 19107 Spatial Extensible Markup Language (XML) ISO 19108 Temporal ISO 19136 Geography Markup Language (GML) ISO 19115 Metadata Universal Markup Language (UML) Exchange standards Conceptual standards
Value of ISO 19100 Standards • Internationally developed standards for expressing geographical data • Features - Airports, Runways, Airspace • Metadata - Data originator, Status, Published Date • Temporality - Start and end dates • Geometry - Point, Line, Polygon • Helps us organize information for the aeronautical domain • Well-established • Geography Markup Language (GML) • Widely adopted and implemented by vendors and governments

Geometry important property of aeronautical information Airspace polygons Airport Reference Points Navaid location Key Concept: Geometry and GML
Geometric and cartographic calculations Label placement Distance between Navigation Aids Course and bearing Airspace penetrations Flight planning Key Concept: Geometry and GML
ISO 19136 Geography Markup Language (GML) Vendor independent standard Based on XML Good industry adoption Key Concept: Geometry and GML
Temporality Model • Definition • A model that incorporates the concept of time • Key assertions • All features are temporal with start of life and end of life • Example, A new air traffic control sector • All features change over time • Example, A VOR is out of service for a day • AIXM Temporality Model • Relates features to the time extent in which they are valid • Provides various means to describe the time extent
An Example: Navaid frequency change Imagine that AML Navaid undergoes an upgrade that changes its frequency from 112 MHz to 113.2 MHz… • Schedule permanent change to coincide with AIRAC update cycle • Shutdown AML before the upgrade • Perform the upgrade • Start AML in test mode to evaluate change
An Example: Navaid frequency change Imagine that AML Navaid undergoes an upgrade that changes its frequency from 112.0 MHz to 113.2 MHz…
