ADQ Implementation WorkshopAustro Control – Status and Issues ATM/AIM-SDM Robert Wehofer, Manager Static Data Management
Content • ADQ Implementation Status at Austro Control • System adaptation • Formal arrangement • AIXM 5.1 – a proper origination format? • Originators vs. ADQ • Non ADQ addressed originators • Special case: Cloud breaking procedures • Special case: NOTAM
ADQ implementation Status at Austro Control System adaptation • ACG Project „Data quality“ forstaticdata • started in 2009 • More digitalisationandautomation • Digital originationformatsforexternaloriginators • Designer toolsforAustroControloriginators • Modern databasemanagementsystem • Cartography • AIP production • Workflow managementsystemfordocumentation („PLX“)
ADQ implementation Status at Austro Control Formal arrangement • ADQ Compliance Checklist • GenericapproachratherthandistinctSLA‘s • Standard form withconcrete ADQ requirementsforall originators • All relevant requirements must becheckmarked
AIXM 5.1 A proper origination format? Many States target AIXM 5.1 asoriginationformat • Reasons: • Easy tocomplywith ADQ Article 4 and 5(1) • Data setspecificationfromEurocontrol (AIXM 5.1) • But ?!? • Howistheacceptancecomingfromoriginators? • Do originatorsunderstandthe AIXM 5.1 specification? • Hasanyoneofyoualreadyseen a full AIP in complete AIXM 5.1 format? (incl. GEN part) • Howwell do softwareproviderssupport AIXM 5.1 tocoverthefull AIP? (incl. GEN part)
AIXM 5.1 A proper origination format? • AIXM 5.1 datasetspecification • isofnousefororiginator (tootechnical) • shouldbe relevant fororiginatorsaswell (Article 4) • Several GEN chaptersaredescribedby a singleentity „RulesProcedures“ • Whatwouldbethereactionoftheoriginator? • „RulesProcedures. Nice! But which GEN chaptersshould I supply?“
AIXM 5.1 Austro Control approach AustroControlapproach: • AIXM 5.1 onlyusedforexchangebetweenANSP‘s • Specificoriginationformatsthat fit tooriginators • For ICAO relevant geographicdata • Simplified XML formatbased on AIXM 5.1 (versionindependent) • Excel format (obstacleowners) • For non geographicdata • Unstructureddataformats (Word, PDF) • Still complywithArticle 5(1) andArticle 6 • Foreachoriginator: • Data productspecificationwith „reduced“ featurecatalog
Originators vs. ADQ Non ADQ addressed originators • Discrepancy in ADQ • Not all IAIP originatorsareaddressed • But: ADQ appliestowhole IAIP (exkl. AIC) • Unclearsituationfor AISP • Howtoensure ADQ complianceforwhole AIP?
Originators vs. ADQ Non ADQ addressed originators • Twopossibleapproaches: • Article 6(5): AISP shalldefinespecificrequirementstoreceivedata in sufficientquality • Whatissufficientquality? • Iftoo high: Originatorsdon‘tcare • Iftoolow: AISP isliableifsomethinghappens • Article 7(2): AISP annotates not ADQ-compliantdata • Paragraph will not beseenonlyastemporarysolution • AustroControlapproach: • 1) High qualityrequested => 2) Permanent annotation
Originators vs. ADQ Special case: Cloud breaking procedures Two VFR aerodromes in Austria withcloudbreakingprocedures: • 1000 feetabovegroundandhigher: IFR procedure • Lower than1000 feet: VFR procedure • In theory: VFR aerodromeswithcloudbreakingproceduresarefullyaddressedby ADQ • VFR aerodromeswithcloudbreakingprocedureshavetosupplyfully ADQ compatibledata • But: • Quality ofaerodromedatadoes not affectIFR procedure in anyway • ADQ in thiscaseuseless, but significantly high costsfor ADs Art. 2(2b) – „operators of those aerodromes, for which IFR procedures have been published“
Originators vs. ADQ Special case: NOTAM • Conclusionbythe European Commission • But: • ADQ appliestoall NOTAM • Auditors wouldinspect all NOTAM • Conclusionshouldbe incorporated in the ADQ!!! • Not clear: Whendoes ADQ inhibit a timelydistributionofaeronauticalinformation? Howtomeasure? Who isresponsibleforthedecision? • Howto deal withtemporaryobstacles? (e.g. cranefor 2 days) • „NOTAM shall comply with ADQ, if ADQ does not inhibit the distribution of aeronautical information necessary to ensure the safety of flight.“
