4. Industry goals Good, fast, and cost-effective Authoritative data
Improve the speed and accuracy of data/charts
Streamline workflows for efficiency
Authoritative data
Produce data that can be trusted
Share and exchange
Commercial-off-the-shelf solution
Eliminate the need to develop custom code or scripts
For most of us we are dealing with the same industry challenges
We need to get out a good product and we need to get it out as fast as possible
And we also need to be cost effective so we can get value for money when we do it
We also want our data to be considered authoritative, if we give out data to our customers and they don’t trust it, it is not very valuable to them or us
We also need a means of sharing and a way of exchanging data/product – incorporating it in our ever growing databases
Finally, we all want to go with off-the-shelve solution – coz this eliminates the need to develop, or script, updating – cumbersome/overhead costs

5. Esri Aeronautical Solution
Esri Aeronautical Solution includes tools and features to enable aeronautical information capture, management and database-driven cartographic production of aeronautical charts.
Chart production agencies could leverage the technology to produce new products
Automated way to import/Export AIXM data and share among agencies

6. Esri Aeronautical Solution Components
Key Features
Data Management Tools; Import and export of AIXM 4.5, centralized data management, manage obstacle data using an eTOD compliant data model.
Product Management Tools; for symbology and text via the Visual Specifications, manage products, detailed cartography.
Quality Control Tools; to streamline production workflow, automated quality control, tracking and controlling editing processes in a multi-user environment
Create, visualize, analyze, and disseminate critical data from AIS.
Automatically update charts through the AIS to reduce data latency, redundancy, and errors.
Produce a wide range of charting products, including International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)-compliant charts, from a central database.
Share data using the Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM).
Efficiently generate aeronautical charts for route planning, in-flight navigation, and takeoff and landing.

This is where Esri Production mapping fits in -This can be purchased as a separate extension
ArcGIS Data Reviewer can be purchased as a separate extension
Workflow manager which comes with task assistant –can be purchased separately
Built on top of that we have some specific solutions in areas such as Aeronautical, Defense,

8. AIS Geodatabase AIS database is the central component
AIXM
AIS database is the central component
It contains features, specifications, rules and history
Data updates being managed by workflow manager
After the updates, they are pushed into cartographic database, which contains reference to the original features, - add specific fields that help display features cartographically
When the cartographic manipulation is complete, it can be pushed out to a number of traditional products for printing
Besides that, the same data can be used to feed a variety of web services
AIXM

9. Overview of eTOD
Obstacle: All fixed and mobile objects that are located on an area intended for the surface movement of aircraft or that extend above a defined surface intended to protect aircraft in flight.
Data is defined by four coverage areas around any airport, and stored in a geodatabase with ICAO-defined attributes for the obstacle and terrain feature classes.

10. eTOD feature class
AIS data model schema accommodates data to meet the eTOD requirements
The model includes four feature classes-
Point Obstacle,
Line Obstacle,
Polygonal Obstacle,
Obstacle Area.
Rules: ensure that participating authorities capture and manage obstacle and terrain data necessary for aviation maps and charts, as required by ICAO.
Metadata: information on data including the source, data accuracy, date of acquisition among others.
