5. FF-ICE Concept (ICAO Doc 9965)
Why FIXM?
FF-ICE Concept (ICAO Doc 9965)
2020
The requirement for FIXM was identified by International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Air Traffic Management Requirements and Performance Panel (ATMRPP) and endorsed at the 12th Air Navigation Conference as part of the Aviation System Block Upgrades (ASBU) and as described in Flight and Flow Information for a Collaborative Environment (FF-ICE) . This concept is expected to form the basis for more detailed concepts developed by SESAR in Europe and Nextgen in the USA, and thus FIXM should be used by those programmes in any related work.
FIXM will be used to define the payloads for data exchanges defined either through services or via more traditional message exchanges.
As FIXM develops and matures it is expected that other users will adopt it on an opportunistic basis, and in the longer term regulation to support its implementation is not ruled out.

7. Notes on FIXM v4.0.0 FIXM v4.0.0 supports:
The content of the individual ATS message fields described in ICAO Doc 4444
The new flight data items identified by ICAO ATMRPP as part of the requirements for FF-ICE Block 1 (based on working paper ref. ATMRPP-WG/31-WP/713 “Manual on FF-ICE Implementation Guidance”).
FIXM v4.0.0 content is entirely traced to ICAO information exchange requirements
Some capabilities previously enabled by FIXM v3.0 are no longer supported.

15. Some candidate FIXM v4.1.0 Change Requests
Not yet discussed by FIXM CCB!
CR - Unrestricted URI Referencing
Enable the inclusion of XLink references (to AIXM data) in FIXM datasets
<complexType abstract="true" name="SignificantPointType">
...
<attributeGroup ref="xlink:simpleAttrs"/>
</complexType>
CR - Make use of the GML Aviation Profile
Or develop another profile…
More candidate CRs in the OGC Testbed-12 FIXM GML Engineering Report

16. AIXM and FIXM are different solutions for different business cases
FIXM and AIXM have different technical designs
This is normal!
AIXM and FIXM are designed and optimized for their respective use cases!
FIXM does not import a profile of AIXM
Why should FIXM integrate and then misuse the AIXM temporality model, which is created for enabling Digital NOTAM exchanges?
BUT
FIXM is “mappable” to AIXM
The next FIXM version might enable references to AIXM data using Xlink href
Eventually, FIXM and AIXM should map to the ICAO AIRM
