1. What’s New with AIXM 5

2. Explaining AIXM 5 Mission and Objectives Coverage of the AIXM 5 data model –Scope of aeronautical information –Emerging “partner” standards Building blocks of AIXM 5 –International standards –Engineering practices

3. 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

4. Aeronautical Information is Geospatial Locations Airspace boundaries Airport layouts Routes Cartography Bearings

5. Aeronautical Information Changes in Time 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 XXXXXXXX

6. Aeronautical Information is Complex What is a VOR? –Are you a cartographer, pilot, flight inspector, signal processing engineer, airspace officer, obstacle evaluator, facilities service technician? –The information you need depends on your point-of-view Located at an Airport Used on a Departure Procedure Used on an enroute Route Provides angle indication for a fix Has coverage areas Has owner/operator

7. Aeronautical Information is Critical Data quality?

8. eAIP, iPIB Applications We Need Aeronautical Information Integrity “Right Information, Right Place, Right Time” Data management NOTAM AIP, charts, etc. State 2 Data management State 1 NOTAM AIP, charts, etc. Surface mail DATA Regional database State 3 AIP, charts, etc. NOTAM ARO NOTAM AIP AFTN (low bandwidth) bulk data upload Briefing data update services Data Service Provider

9. AIP NOTAM AIP NOTAM “data layer” Aeronautical Information Management and AIXM

10. Explaining AIXM 5 Mission and Objectives Coverage of the AIXM 5 data model –Scope of aeronautical information –Emerging “partner” standards Building blocks of AIXM 5 –International standards –Engineering practices

11. Engineering AIXM Geography and Geometry ISO 19136 Geography Markup Language Complexity ISO 19100 series UML, XML, Extensibility Temporality ISO 19108 Temporal Permanent and Temporary changes Integrity Universal Unique Identification (UUID) ISO 19115 Metadata Criticality XML Computer – Computer Exchange

12. AIXM is Based on International Standards Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) ISO 19107 Spatial ISO 19108 Temporal ISO 19115 Metadata ISO 19136 Geography Markup Language (GML) Universal Markup Language (UML) Extensible Markup Language (XML) Conceptual standards Exchange standards

13. Why is ISO19100 Series Important? Common foundation for domain model –International concepts and terminology –Common models: temporality, geometry, metadata… General Feature Models (Framework) Application Schema (Domain Model) Product Specifications (Exchange Messages)

14. 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

15. Unified Modeling Language (UML)

16. Extensible Markup Language (XML) XML – Extensible Markup Language –Have you looked at what is underneath a web page? –XML has a similar look to HTML Computer readable –Electronic exchange –Vendor supported SDAT 5.7 Release New Features >> Create traffic collections based on a sector number. (Flights flown through specified sector(s)) … SDAT 5.7 Release New Features >> Create traffic collections based on a sector number. (Flights flown through specified sector(s)) … 20L RIGHT … 20L RIGHT … Web Page HTML XML Document

17. Key Concept: Geometry and GML Geometry - important property of aeronautical information –Airspace polygons –Airport Reference Points –Navaid location

18. Key Concept: Geometry and GML (cont’d) Geometric and cartographic calculations –Label placement –Distance between Navigation Aids –Course and bearing –Airspace penetrations –Flight planning

19. Key Concept: Geometry and GML (cont’d) ISO 19136 Geography Markup Language (GML) –Vendor independent standard –Based on XML –Good industry adoption

20. 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

21. An Example: Navaid Frequency Change Imagine that AML Navaid undergoes an upgrade that changes its frequency from 112 MHz to 113.2 MHz… 1.Schedule permanent change to coincide with AIRAC update cycle 2.Shutdown AML before the upgrade 3.Perform the upgrade 4.Start AML in test mode to evaluate change

22. An Example: Navaid Frequency Change (cont’d) Imagine that AML Navaid undergoes an upgrade that changes its frequency from 112.0 MHz to 113.2 MHz…
