Note
titleNote
PANS-AIM chapter 5.3.3.1.1 does not distinguish between ATS Route and Other Route.  PANS-AIM Appendix 1 (Aeronautical Data Catalogue) distinguishes between ATS Route and Other Route as subject. Also in PANS-AIM Appendix 1 ENR 3 this distinction is made. Hence a mapping is provided.

In case of 'OTHER'  more details should be provided


For the composition of the route designator, PANS-AIMS requires a property for the route designator prefix and another one for the remaining elements of a complete route designator.
