Introduction & Background
For Radio navigation aid, PANS-AIM requires some basic properties as part of the minimum AIP data set. These are
...
This information is also not required by PANS-AIM to be provided . However, for the scope of a data set content and publication reasons it may be relevant to code that informationas minimum data item but is considered conditional.
The Navaid.purpose attribute is used to indicate the intended usage of the navaid, i.e. 'ENROUTE' (E) or 'TERMINAL' (A) or 'ALL' (AE i.e. dual purpose).
...
In AIXM 5, the instance of a Navaid class is related to the SignificantPoint class (see also topic SignificantPoint (Overview)). The Significant point may be used as start or end point of a route or terminal procedure, or the centre point of a TAA/MSA, to describe the horizontal border of an airspace, etc.
Hence, navaids that are used as significant point have to be encoded using the Navaid class, whereas other navaids may be just encoded as NavigationEquipment (e.g. a marker beacon that is part of an ILS installation or a DME that is part of a VOR/DME).
