This section:

  • includes the correspondences between elements in the different models that cover the needs of aerodrome mappings
  • elaborates on the data encoding of AMD features and properties in accordance with revised ICAO Annex 15 and new PANS-AIM (ICAO Doc 10066), applicable European regulations and industry standards e.g. EUROCAE ER-009
  • provides examples of AIXM 5.1.1. encoding

Limitations

The supporting material alone will not guarantee that an ED-99/DO-272 compliant Aerodrome Mapping Database is created. This can only be done by applying

  • the data product specification rules and
  • the complete functional and geometrical constraints

within ED-99/DO-272 and its normative encoding found in ED-119/DO-291.

In addition, where calculations or geometrical mergings are required, visual verification of the result will be required.

In some cases, additional steps are required by the implementer. For example:

  • AIXM 5.1.1 allows the use of the geometrical curves and geodesics. ED-99/DO-272 only allows line-strings. Therefore the curve will need to be transformed into a line-string. Details on such transformations are out of the scope of this site.
    • The AMDB Default values will need to be added to the AMDB where the

    This section provides supporting material for the encoding of AMD features.

    This includes the list of ED-99()/DO-272() AMDB features and how they map into the corresponding AIXM 5.1.1 AMD features.

    The encoding of features in AIXM 5.1.1

    data is missing elements that are mandatory in AMDB

    is further documented per feature.

    Infoexcerpt
    titleBefore you begin...

    Before you begin you should know:

  • Documents
    • EUROCAE ED99 and RTCA DO-272 are equivalent specifications. This is also true of ED-119 and DO-291.
    • The latest version of the “User Requirements for Aerodrome Mapping Information” is ED-99D/DO-272D.
    • ED-119C/DO-291C "Interchange Standards for Terrain, Obstacle, and Aerodrome Mapping Data" is also used on this page to provide e.g. enumeration. It contains the encoding to be used when realising ED-99/DO-272.
  • Models
    • The latest version of AIXM is AIXM 5.1.1.
    • AMXM is a schema that can be used to exchange aerodrome mapping data. The latest version is AMXM 2.0.0.
    • The AIRM is a vocabulary that is used for semantic interoperability.
    • Correspondences
  • The correspondence tables follow a given structure. See: How to read the supporting material.
  • Not everything has a correspondence so extensions are required. See AIXM 5.1.1 extensions.
    • The correspondences alone will not guarantee that an ED-99 compliant Aerodrome Mapping Database is created. This can only be done by applying the data product specification rules and the complete functional and geometrical constraints within ED-99 and ED-119. See Limitations to the correspondences
    Note

    The correspondences between the AMDB features and the AIXM AMD 5.1.1. features provide guidance on how to translate the content of one model to another based on the structures of the models.

    However, care must be taken to ensure that:

    • the content is translated according to the specific business rules and data encoding requirements for the intended applications; and
    • the result is operationally correct and that the data is coherent and consistent.

    The quality of the result can be checked by validating the data and ensuring that it supports the intended applications.

    An example of where care is needed is the translation of wingspan data (see https://ext.eurocontrol.int/aixm_confluence/display/ACGAMD/TaxiwayGuidanceLine+correspondence).
