Advances in Aeronautical Information 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Maturity in understanding FAA products What is a NOTAM? Move from Messages to Transactions Putting it together What’s changed? Global change: AIS to AIM Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 8 8
1. Maturity in understanding products • We don’t have to live in the “product-centric” past – We create many systems to do the same thing to the same basic data elements – Example of 2 Aeronautical Notices • Notice to Airman (NOTAM) • Special Use Airspace (SUA) status • Aeronautical information data products have common themes – Identification and Operation [ What ] • Description (KIAD), Status (Open/Closed) – Period of Validity [ When ] – Geometry [ Where ] • Point, Line, Polygon – Latitude, Longitude, Altitude Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 9 9
2. What is a NOTAM? • Notice that the published information has changed • NOTAM – Notice to Airmen – A 0794/06 (09/027) - RUNWAY CLOSED 10/28 12 SEP 04: 00 UNTIL UFN + Aeronautical Information Identification & Operation 12 Sep 0400 GMT Until Further Notice Period of Validity + Geometry Message Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 10 10
Another notice 2. Military Airspace Status • SUA Status – Special Use Airspace status – Buckeye Military Operation Area (MOA) • Activated 0900 to 1300 on Sep 9 2006 Buckeye MOA Activated + Aeronautical Information Identification & Operation 9 Sep 2006 0900 to 1300 GMT Period of Validity + MOA boundary Geometry Message Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 11 11
2. What about other FAA products? • Products (Historically Text based) – – NOTAM: Runway is Closed for a certain time SUA: Buckeye MOA is Active for a certain time CARF: Temporary Restricted Airspace GPS/WAAS: GPS Unreliable in Coverage area until further notice • Common Themes – Identification and Operation [ What ] – Period of Validity [ When ] – Geometry [ Where ] • The examples above all describe something that is happening to a piece of airspace, but it could be an airport, navaid or any other component of the National Airspace System (NAS) Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 12 12
A Credit Card Transaction 3. A familiar example Credit Card Transaction + Charge Number Timestamp = Operation List of changed properties Credit Information Identification & Balance … Debit $200 Credit Information Identification & Balance (Updated State) Message • Credit card q [Existing] balance - Charge= [New] balance q [Existing] Value + transaction = [New] Value • Address update…. . Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 13 13
A Transaction 3. Aeronautical data works the same way + Aeronautical Information Identification & Operation (Published) Aeronautical Information Transaction (AI-T) Aeronautical Feature Period of Validity: = Start of Change End of Change Operation List of changed properties Geometry Aeronautical Information Identification & Operation (Updated State) Message (What, When, Where) • Start with published information about an aeronautical feature (runway, airport, airway, fix, airspace…) q Add a request to change a property of a feature (owner, status, availability…) q Result is the updated feature Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 14 14
3. Putting it together • Start flight planning with a snapshot of the current airspace – Request updates to the dataset since the snapshot was taken – Result is a common [near-time] view of the NAS • • • Airports Aircraft FMS ATC Automation Traffic Flow Management Partners – International, Military, … • User systems would use or show that data in the form that supports their requirements – Query, Filter, Alert, Transform (text or graphic representation) Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 15 15
5. What’s changed? • International Recognition that we need to move from textbased products • There is a global exchange model available – Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) • Describes aeronautical information and relationships – Designed for system to system exchange of data • We now understand that existing legacy products can be created from base NAS data – Publications – NOTAMs – Charts (after adaptation for best presentation) • Data Quality starts at the beginning of the process (survey) and must be maintained – Trace-ability of data source and modification – Chain-of-Custody Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 16 16
6. Global change: AIS to AIM System - publish documents - manage data AIP Managing Data Managing Product Classical AIS SUP, NOTAM, AIC Document content and format is described by: Data managed in the system is described by models: - ICAO Annex 15, Appendix 1 – AIP Content - Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) - ICAO Annex 15, Appendix 6 – NOTAM format - AIXM Conceptual Model (AICM) -… - Electronic AIP (e. AIP) – on-line presentation format Specifications • Content • Quality • Metadata Euro. Control Slide Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 17 17
Topics/3 • • • Introduction concepts Advances in aeronautical information Status at FAA What our customers want Current activities Summary Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 18 18
Historically at FAA Criteria is manual and form-based Separate data sets for each activity Examples 7930. 2 NOTAM Manual – Specifies “human-readable” grammar Examples DOF – Obstacle data set for public 8260. 19 TERPS – “Mail Sectional Charts” “Rules for interpreting terrain contours” Air. NAV – Obstacle data set for procedure development 7400. X Airspace – Manual coordination and publication of airspace Paper-based processing and tracking Non-integrated Products Examples Letters of Agreement Examples Charts SUA development and validation Letters of Agreement Publications NOTAMs NASR – NAS data set for public Procedure Charts Airport Layouts NACO – NAS data set for charting Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 19 19
Trends in the FAA • Criteria – separating policy, procedures and data – 8260. 19 D (TERPS automation) – Proposed NOTAM manual modernization • Data sets – improved data integrity and information management – Surveys and Airport GIS • Processing – automation and workflow – i. OE/AAA – MIA and MVA evaluations – Milops, Airport GIS, etc. • Products – automation from a common data set – e. NASR Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 20 20

What our Customers want 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 2006 Global AIS Congress Highlights from NOTAM Survey Digital data not text Multiple Views Direct to the cockpit Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 22 22
2006 Global AIS Congress 1. AIS – The key to Interoperability Presentation given to AIS Congress By Capt. Ed Lyons VP Safety & Airworthiness Air Operations for Federal Express Madrid Attendance • Over 500 attendees • Over 80 Countries High Level Representation • FAA ATO VP of System Operations Message: “US NOTAM system is broken” Request: NOTAM (AI) data directly to the cockpit Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 • EUROCONTROL Director General • ICAO Director of Air Navigation Federal Aviation Administration 23 23
2. Quotes from NOTAM survey • FAA should plan to improve the processing and delivery of the aeronautical information because: – “The key issue is safety not savings. Savings are nice but safety is paramount. The current, fragmented system is potentially unsafe and is definitely inefficient. – Contradictory NOTAM – potentially unsafe – Local NOTAM not disseminated – potentially unsafe – Procedures changed by NOTAM – potentially unsafe (when good internal data checks would have uncovered the bad data in the fist place) – Untimely data – potentially unsafe – No advance warning e. g. long-haul flights inbound the USA – potentially unsafe (DNOTAM) – Lack of current surface conditions – potentially unsafe” • Major Deficiencies to focus on – “Put someone in charge and give them the authority to change how business is done! – The NOTAM Office or some central facility must own, be aware of and have the authority to deal with all U. S. AIS/AIM data. It should also be able to follow up worldwide issues in coordination with EAD” • “A SINGLE SOURCE is a MUST” Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 24 24
3. Digital data not text • Sample NOTAM text – A 0794/06 (09/027) - RUNWAY CLOSED 10/28 12 SEP 04: 00 UNTIL UFN • Data – Fully Described (What and When) – Fully geo-referenced (Where) – Timely!!!!! • Functionality – – Query Filter Transform Alert Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 25 25

Summary 1. Paradigm Shift – – Move from legacy AIS thinking to Aeronautical Information Management (legacy product to data) Actions Planned 2. International Adoption – Global data exchange format • – Aeronautical Information Exchange Format (AIXM) Partnership 3. A couple of things to remember…. Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 38 38
Paradigm Shift 1. Data is the key • Products are specifications on how data should be presented – Charts (products) have two parts • The aeronautical data • How the data (label) should be presented (anchored to graphic) on the document – Products can be out-of-date the day of publication • Quality begins at the beginning of the data chain • Single Entry – Multiple Views Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 39 39
Data-driven Charts 1. Computer-assisted cartography is available now 1. Offset from Attribute General Rules Label requirements based on rules by scale Offset based on rules Label Location based on rules Overlapping based on rules 2. Candidate Placements Location Candidate #1 Candidate #4 XYZ XYZ XYZ Candidate #2 XYZ Candidate #5 Candidate #3 Aeronautical Information Management January 2007 Federal Aviation Administration 40 40
