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

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 issue

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.

Designator - Designator IATA

The identifier that is assigned to a location in accordance with rules (resolution 767) governed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

Note: if any

AirportHeliport.designatorIATA,

AirportHeliport.designator


Designator - OtherA locally defined airport identifier, if other than an ICAO Location IndicatorAirportHeliport.designatorAlthough this is an optional property it is mapped for the sake of the proposed verification rule (see above).
NameThe primary official name of an aerodrome as designated by an appropriate authority.AirportHeliport.name
Served cityThe full name ( free text) of the city or town the aerodrome/heliport is serving.AirportHeliport.servedCity.City.name

Certification dateThe date when the airport certification has been issued by the supervising authority.AirportHeliport.certificationDate
Certification experation dateThe date when the airport certification will become invalid.AirportHeliport.certificationExpirationDate
Field elevation - ElevationThe vertical distance above Mean Sea Level (MSL) of the highest point of the landing area.

Field elevation - Geoid undulation

Geoid undulation at the aerodrome/ heliport elevation position

Note: where appropriate

AirportHeliport.annotation.Note.propertyName equal to 'fieldElevation'.translatedNote.LinguisticNote.note
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)AirportHeliport.referenceTemperature
Magnetic variation - Angle

The angular difference between True North and Magnetic North.

The magnetic variation angle value


AirportHeliport.magneticVariation
Warning
titleAIXM 5.1.1 issue
PANS-AIM requires an Accuracy for the Magnetic varation - Angle. AIXM 5.1.1 does not provide a dedicated attribute. Note may be used to code that information.
Magnetic variation - DateThe date on which the magnetic variation had the coresponding value.AirportHeliport.dateMagneticVariation
Magnetic variation - Annual changeThe annual rate of change of the magnetic variation.AirportHeliport.magneticVariationChange
Airport reference point - Position

The designated geographical location of an aerodrome.

Geographical location of aerodrome reference point.

Warning
titlePANS-AIM naming inconsistancyissue

In PANS-AIM chapter 5.3.3.1.1 the term "airport reference point" is used. In Appendix 1 the term "reference point" is used

Airport reference point - SiteThe location of the reference point on the aerodrome. AirportHeliport.annotation.Note.propertyName equal to 'ARP'.translatedNote.LinguisticNote.note
Warning
titleAIXM issue

There is no dedicated attribute in AIXM 5.1.1 to encode that information. An annotation to the "ARP" property of  "AirportHeliport" feature may be used.
