Introduction & Background
Minimum Data Items
This page contains the mapping for the following data items as defined in PANS-AIM, chapter 5.3.3.1.1
c) Route (identifier prefixATS route and other route (designator, flight rules, designator );
These properties, which are considered as minimum AIP data set for Routec) Route1, are mapped to the following main AIXM 5 feature:
...
| PANS-AIM | Description (PANS-AIM) | AIXM 5 | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Designator prefix² | The prefix of the route designator as specified in Note 1) Note 1): U) Upper, K) Helicopter, S) Supersonic, T) Tacan, Other | Route.designatorPrefix | |
| Warning | |||

| Anchor | 2 | 2 | 2 In PANS-AIM chapter 5.3.3.1.1 c) the term "identifier prefix" is used, whereas Appendix 1 (Aeronautical Data Catalogue) applies the term "Designator prefix".Designator | Designators for ATS routes according to Annex 11 Appendix 1 (or Appendix 3 for standard departure and arrival routes) | Route.designatorSecondLetter Route.designatorNumber Route.multipleIdentifier RouteSegment.designatorSuffix | The RouteSegment.designatorSuffix has been added, as in some countries a route may have a different designator suffix for particular route segments. |
| Flight rules | Information on the flight rules that apply on the route (IFR / VFR) | Route.flightRule | Acc. to PANS-AIM only relevant for "Other routes". It is probably assumed that ATS routes are for IFR and "other routes" include both IFR and VFR routes. |
ATS Routes Other Route | Route.type value equal-to 'ATS' 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.Route.type value equal-to 'OTHER:' Note | | |
| 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.
...
- designatorPrefix equal-to 'U', to indicate that the route or portion thereof is established in the upper airspace;
- designatorSecondLetter equal-to 'L'
- designatorNumber equal-to '601'
- multipleIdentifier equal-to 'F', to indicate that on the route or portion thereof advisory service only is provided
