This page contains the mapping for the following data items as defined in PANS-AIM, chapter 5.3.3.1.1

b) Special activity airspace (type, name, lateral limits, vertical limits, restriction, activation);

These properties which are considered as minimum AIP data set for Special activities airspace are mapped to the following main AIXM 5 features:

Besides the minimum AIP data set items, additional data items specified in the following sections of Appendix 2 of PANS-AIM - which are marked with #AIP-DS# - are taken into consideration for the mapping. In the context of this mapping, these properties are conditional AIP data set items.

  • ENR 5.1 Prohibited, restricted and danger areas

  • ENR 5.2 Military exercise and training areas and air defence identification zone (ADIZ)

  • ENR 5.3.1 Other activities of a dangerous nature
  • ENR 5.5 Aerial sporting and recreational activities
Note
titleNote

"ENR 5.3.2 Other potential hazards" & "ENR 5.6 Bird migration and areas with sensitive fauna" are not marked as #AIP-DS# in the PANS-AIM.

Warning
titlePANS-AIM Issue

PANS AIM 5.3.3.1.1 lists ATS Airspace and Special activity airspaces. PANS-AIM Appendix 1 in addition also defines Aerial sporting activities airspace. Besides the property "operator" defined for the Aerial sporting activities airspace all the other properties of Aerial sporting activities airspace can also be found as property for Special activity airspaces. Hence, th emapping is done for all the Special activity airspaces and for Aerial sporting activities airspace only the additinal property "operator" is mapped.

The localType attribute may be used for those types for which the AIXM attribute Airspace.type does not provide a dedciated value.

titleOpen Question

TBD: For military airspaces controlType is included in the mapping?

Besides some exceptions, AIXM does not provide dedicated type values for military airspaces (e.g. Military Training Area). Such airspaces are encoded with the corresponding controlType equal-to 'MIL'.

The property affectedArea is used to relate the concerned airspace to the rules and procedure for interception. AIXM provides a dedicated vallue for the title attribute for the interception of civil aircraft.

The remaining attributes may be used to specify the interception rules/procedures in more detail.

Additional Mapping (Advisory Measures & Authority Responsible for the Provision of Information & Operator)

PANS-AIM ENR 5.3.1 also requires information about

advisory measures and authority responsible for the provision of information

titleOpen Question: Frequency

For Frequency the only option is to go via Service. It seems unlikely that for an Aerial sporting activities airspace any of the Services defined in AIXM 5.1.1 will be provided.

Shall Service be used anyway (with e.g. Information Service with type OTHER:)?
