3. Aeronautical Information Exchange Model - I
AIXM 5.1
UML model, XML schema released since Feb 2010
Currently in implementation
Guidance
Business rules
Purpose: capture relevant AIXM 5.1 business rules from existing AICM 4.5 rules, ICAO Annexes 10/11/14/15, ICAO PANS-OPS, ARINC …and standardise their wording & encoding using Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR) and ISO Schematron
Maturity: Available for public review – likely to evolve over time to capture the feedback from AIXM stakeholders.
See
Temporality Model
Purpose: Describe the temporality model implemented in AIXM 5.1 in order to satisfy the AIS temporal requirements – support of digital NOTAM in particular (not possible with AIXM4.5).
Maturity: v1.0 released
See
GML Profile
Purpose: GML is a mature geometrical/geographical data encoding standard and that was the main reason to use it for AIXM. The role of the profile is to guide implementations in the aviation domain. There is nothing that is invented on top of GML, just explanations how it can be used for the encoding of aviation specific data.
Maturity: Still in development, no blocking issues so far. Industry involvement mainly through OGC - Aviation Domain Working Group.
See
AIS-AIMSG-#4

4. Aeronautical Information Exchange Model - II
Use of xlink:href and UUID
Purpose: To provide technical details with regard to the use of Universal Unique Identifiers (UUID) for aeronautical features and encoding of associations between features using the xlink standard
Maturity: v1.0 released
See
Meta-data
Purpose: Enable the encoding of information related to the quality, traceability, etc. of an aeronautical data set or feature, to detail the user requirements for metadata in the aviation domain (main sources: ICAO, ADQ, INSPIRE) and to provide guidance on how to map these requirements into an ISO Metadata Profile.
Maturity: The metadata profile is available as an official OGC Discussion Paper. With the objective to promote it to OGC Best practice / Guidance Material when mature enough.
See
CRC Guidance
Purpose: Enable the encoding of CRCs
Maturity: Initial proposal available, including a CRC schema (extension to AIXM 5.1). Some aspects still being investigated (e.g. which attributes are subject to CRC wrapping, all or selected ones?)
See: Keep an eye on , available on request.

5. Aeronautical Information Exchange Model Sesar developments
Purpose:
Within a SESAR context to deliver validated data models for the Aeronautical Information domain by representing all possible Aeronautical Information constructs, including information for military purposes, which may be exchanged between ATM stakeholders.
Facilitate the development of systems that need to ingest, use, and/or deliver Aeronautical Information.
Output:
AIXM 5 served as Initial load to the ATM Information Reference Model;
Looking into Terrain data models;
Looking at additional requirements for aerodrome mapping data modelling as identified by EUROCAE WG44/RTCA217 deliverables;
Additional validation of selected AIXM 5.1 constructs (e.g. procedures model).
Modeling of Post-Flight Information Report (=> AIS Manual §8.8)
No significant changes to AIXM5.1 identified so far

9. Digital NOTAM - Scope of Increment 1
Airspace activation / reservations / warning areas / CTR (that are not H24)
Justification: up-to-date “airspace activity” charts for VFR community, graphical enhancements to PIB, visualisation for ATC/APP, information provided to the pilot by ATC on request;
Route closures (CDR1, CDR 2, other routes)
Justification: up-to-date airspace/route availability data for flight planning applications;
Navaid events (all, including ILS)
Justification: critical data for Airline Operational Centres;
Airport/Runway closures
Justification: critical data for Airline Operational Centres, graphical enhancements to PIB;
Taxiway closures / work areas
Justification: graphical enhancements to PIB (identified difficulty – requires static data for Taxiway elements geometry);
Obstacles
SNOWTAM
All other NOTAM as Text NOTAM associated with the feature
Justification: completeness of the solution, to avoid digital data users having to also consult text NOTAM from another source.

13. Aeronautical Information Services
Purpose
Identify, define and develop Aeronautical and Meteorological Information Services based upon Service Oriented Architecture principles and current & foreseen ATM business needs
How
Analyze the requirements of existing & potential new users of Aeronautical Information Services
Propose new services that could be provided on top of what is currently defined by ICAO, considering ICAO AIS to AIM Study Group and CANSO AIM WG inputs
Progress to date, first services relate to:
Aerodrome Mapping Information Service
Taxiway Status Information Service
Volcanic Ash Information Service
In the pipeline
Winds Aloft Information Service
Special Use Airspace Information Service
Output:
Standardised Service Models which will be provided to implementers as Service Contracts
Part of an ATM Information Service Reference Model (ISRM)

Aeronautical Information Systems EAD Implementation
Mar 2011
New obstacle model based on AIXM 5.1 (on test)
Nov 2011
Download Minimum Static Data in AIXM 5.1
Minimum data set (the static data entities required for NOTAM validation and PIB generation required for NOTAM validation and PIB generation) will be available for download in AIXM 5.1
Full AIXM 5.1 operations (incremental)
First two series of Digital NOTAM events (airspace closure and route closures) will be supported by EAD in Release 7 (mid 2012). This will also come with the possibility to upload an initial set of static data entities in AIXM 5.1 format. Rest of the AIXM 5.1 implementation will be done progressively in EAD, until 2014 incl Digital NOTAM Increment 1.

17. Aeronautical Information Systems - Sesar developments
Digital NOTAM - Application
Main input -> Digital NOTAM Event Specification
User requirements for Digital NOTAM encoding applications
Output (Mid 2012) – validated prototypes for RWY/Airport Closure &Temporary obstacles
Integrated Digital Briefing
Collection of user requirements from pre-SESAR projects
ICAO SARPS
Eurocontrol Integrated Briefing
EAD Specifications
Digital NOTAM Business Case
FAA studies
Etc.
Pre-Flight briefings today
cumbersome to build
too much information
sometimes irrelevant
presented in a format difficult to read by the pilot
Expectations
Graphical capabilities and better filtering based on Digital NOTAM messages will address these shortcomings

20. Aeronautical Data Quality (ADQ)
COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 73/2010
“laying down requirements on the quality of aeronautical data and aeronautical information for the single European sky”
Basically; Turning Annex 15 into European Law
Compliance dates:
