AIS.OR.210 Exchange of aeronautical data and aeronautical information

EXCHANGE MODEL An AIS provider should use the aeronautical information exchange model (AIXM) to enable the management and distribution of aeronautical information services data in digital format.

EXCHANGE MODEL

(a)AIXM 5.1 is considered as being the minimum baseline for the exchange of aeronautical data and aeronautical information.

(b)More information on the AIXM may be found under http://www.aixm.aero/.

DIGITAL TERRAIN DATA

(a)The existing formats for the exchange of electronic terrain datasets do not fully meet the requirements of the ISO 19100 series on geographic information, therefore the GeoTIFF format and Shape file with metadata is preferred.

(b)The list of most used terrain formats can be found in Appendix D to the EUROCONTROL ‘Terrain and Obstacle Data (TOD) Manual’ (edition 2.2, dated 28 November 2019).

ELECTRONIC MEANS The exchange of aeronautical data and aeronautical information may be done by a number of electronic exchanges avoiding the need of manual interaction with the data itself.
