PANS-AIMDescription (PANS-AIM)AIXM 5Remarks
Designator - ICAO location indicator

The four letter ICAO location indicator of the aerodrome/heliport, as listed in ICAO DOC 7910 (Location Indicators).

Note: if any

//aixm:AirportHeliport//aixm:locationIndicatorICAO

|

//aixm:AirportHeliport//aixm:AirportHeliport.locationIndicatorICAO,

AirportHeliport.designator

Tip
titleProposal for Verification Rule

The rules according to which this identifier should be formed are as follows:

1. If the Aerodrome/Heliport has an ICAO four letter location indicator, then this one will become the desigantor for the AerodromeHeliport;

2. If the Aerodrome/Heliport does not have an ICAO four letter location indicator, but it has an IATA three letter code, then this one will become the desigantor for the AerodromeHeliport;

3. If the Aerodrome/Helipor has neither an ICAO four letter location indicator nor an IATA three letter code, then an artificial generated code will be used. This will contain a group of letters and a number. The group of letters could be the 2 letter code of the State being responsible for the Aerodrome/Heliport and the number could be an integer between 0001 and 9999.

Warning
titlePANS-AIM naming inconsistancyissue

In PANS-AIM chapter 5.3.3.1.1 the term "location indicator" is used. In Appendix 1 the term "ICAO location indicator" is used.

//aixm:AirportHeliport//aixm:fieldElevationAccuracy

The "fieldElevationAccuracy" is required by PANS-AIM as in Appendix 1 (Aeronautical Data Catalogue) the accuracy values are defined.

AirportHeliport.fieldElevation

AirportHeliport.fieldElevationAccuracy


Field elevation - Geoid undulation

Geoid undulation at the aerodrome/ heliport elevation position

Note: where appropriate

Warning
titleAIXM issue

In AIXM 5.1.(1) the "geoidUndulation" can only be provided for the "ARP" ("ElevatedPoint") which may not be the highest point of the landing area.

An annotation for the property  "fieldElevation" of the AirportHeliport may be used to encode that information including the accuracy of the Geoid Undulation.

Reference temperatureThe monthly mean of the daily maximum temperatures for the hottest month of the year at an aerodrome. This temperature should be averaged over a period of years. (ICAO recommendation)//aixm:AirportHeliport//aixm:AirportHeliport.referenceTemperature

The ARINC 424 Airport Record (PA)

conatains

contains a field named "IFR Capability".

The IFR Capability field indicates if the Airport/Heliport has any published Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP).

The assumption is made that for an AirportHeliport IFR traffic is permitted also IAP are published. If no IFR procedure is published it is considerd to be an VFR airport.
