2. AIXM – why necessary • EAD Feasibility Study (by “CAPdebis”) - 1993 • “The exchange of static data in an electronic format is rare for ground based systems. Other than ARINC 424 format, which was developed according to the demands of FMS, a state of the art, commonly used standard format for the exchange of static data information […] is not available.” • Need for aeronautical information logical model + data exchange format • For the implementation of the European AIS Database (EAD) • Basis for eAIP • Contribution to ICAO (AIS/MAP Divisional Meeting of 1998) • For industry implementations • etc.

21. Aeronautical Data Quality (ADQ) • ADQ 1 • 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: 2013-2017 • Means of Compliance • Electronic AIP (eAIP) Published • Aeronautical Information Exchange (AIX) Final Draft • AIXM 5.1 is proposed as compliant model • Data Quality Requirements (DQR) Under development • Data Assurance Levels (DAL) Under development • Data Origination (DO) Under development

25. ICAO AIS to AIM Roadmap 3 phases 21 inter-related steps Time

26. AIXM 5.1 proposed to ICAO mandate International AIXM Change Control Board AIS-AIM SG AIXM 5.1 and further Updates AIXM 5.0 Pre-AIXM 5 2011 2012 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006

27. AIXM Change Control Board - mandate • Transparency • Stakeholder representation • States, Military • ANSP, Service Providers • Airlines, Airports • Manufacturing industry • Decisions by consensus! • Change proposals developed collectively • If no serious disagreement with a change proposal is notified (silent process) -> adopted • A widely acceptable solution needs to be found for any issue!

28. Registration process • CCB • See link on http://www.aixm.aero • One representative per organisation/company (or Department for very large organisations • No deadline, you are welcome at any time! • CCAB • Eurocontrol and FAA will contact organisations/groups as indicated in the Charter to seek participation in the CCAB

29. Future versions • Proposed • Minor Release AIXM 5.1.1 in 2013 (April-May) • XML Schema improvements/corrections, such as: • gml:identifier for <<object>> • allow empty AIXM_BasicMessage • bug corrections (spelling errors) • UML model • No changes to classes, attributes, associations • Possibly, improvements of definitions • Migration from RationalRose (IBM) to EA (Sparx)

30. Future versions • Proposed • Regular update AIXM 5.2 by mid 2014 • backwards compatible with AIXM 5.1 • deprecation instead of simple removal • allow new classes, properties, associations where operationally required • Including mapping rules to AIXM 5.1 • eventually mapping code (XSLT) provided as part of the release
