Air traffic management is defined as the "dynamic, integrated management of air traffic and airspace including air traffic services, airspace management and air traffic flow management - safely, economically and efficiently - through the provision of facilities and seamless services in collaboration with all parties and involving airborne and ground-based functions". 

Stakeholders operating in the global air traffic management system have the need for graphical representations of aeronautical data (i.e., maps). This facilitates the safe, economical and efficient execution of their duties both in planning and during operations. There is a need for aeronautical aerodrome maps in support of integrated digital briefings. The maps can be used to ensure a common situation awareness on which to notify changes e.g. in the availability of the aerodrome infrastructure.

The aeronautical aerodrome maps may also used in other systems such as those used for surface management at aerodrome. A complete list of these is available as a High level description of the service offer. However, the service is not intended for in-cockpit use.

This service satisfies this need by offering aeronautical aerodrome maps as regulated by ICAO Annex 15 - Aeronautical Information Services. The scope satisfies the EU Implementing Regulation 2021/116 - Common Project One.

The service provides aeronautical aerodrome maps based on service consumer requests (for example, for a specified geographical area or based on a specific data layer).

discover the layers that are available

get map

get map based on filters

get map based on temporal filter

A mechanism to specify the temporality conditions for the map. (Valid for a certain time, etc.)

Confidentiality shall be shall be ensured using SWIM TIYP  bindings.

Aerodrome Map

This is the map that is generated on the server as a result of the query to the service.

It serves a baseline (as per the AIXM 5 temporality model).

Due care shall be taken to ensure the layers on the map are visible. For example, this may mean that GIS layers with a polygon geometry are below those with a a line geometry.

It may be styled and/or labelled according to a service layer description (SLD) and should ensure an uncluttered map.

It shall use EPSG:3857 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Mercator_projection) as a minimum for its projection. The service consumer may specify another projection that is made available. Note that the projection does not alter the data. It still uses WGS-84 according Annex 15.

It is in raster graphical format e.g. GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc. The desired output format may be included in the query to the service.

A queryable WMS allows access to the information on the map. The resulting information shall be based on the AIXM 5.1.1 exchange language.
