For Route Segment, PANS-AIM requires the direction of cruising level and reverse direction of cruising level as part of the minimum AIP data set.
The diagram below shows the AIXM classes, including the relevant data types, needed to encode that information:
The RouteAvailability class is used to define the direction of the RouteSegment. AIXM provides the possibility to encode if a route segment may be available for just one direction, i.e. 'FORWARD', or 'BACKWARD', or 'BOTH' directions.

| Identifier | Data Encoding Rule | Justification | Data Verification Rule (UID) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RSG-301 | Each Route.Segement shall have as minimum one and as maximum two related RouteAvailability.direction. | PANS-AIM minimum dataMinimum AIP data set | TBD | |
| RSG-302 | For each RouteAvailability a StandardLevelColumn.series shall be provided. | PANS-AIM minimum dataMinimum AIP data set | TBD | |
| RSG-303 | For RouteAvailability.direction the values 'BOTH' and 'OTHER' shall not be used. | Data consistency | TBD | In case a of a bidirectional route, two records shall be encoded - one for forward and one for backward. |
