PANS-AIM requires the magnetic variation for all radio naviagtion navigation aids without limitation to a particular type of navaid (see chapter 5.3.3.1 and ENR 4.1). However, PANS-AIM Appendix 1 requires the magnetic variation only for ILS and NDB.

Warning
titlePANS-AIM issue

PANS-AIMĀ  ENR 4.1 requires a magnetic variation idependently form independently from the type (except VOR and ILS). PANS-AIM appendix 1 requires a magnetic varation variation only for ILS and NDB.

In AIXM 5, the magnetic variation is coded on the specialised classes of the abstract NavaidEquipment class (see also topic Navaid Equipment).

...

In addition, PANS-AIM requires, for ILS and NDB, the accuracy to be provided. For both a accuracy of 1 degree is required. In AIXM, the magneticVariationAccuracy attribute is used to code that information.

Note
titleNote
For some Navaids (viz. VOR, ILS and MLS), PANS-AIM requires a station declination instead of a local magentic varation magnetic variation (see corresponding specialised navaid equipment topic for details).
