Purpose

& Scope
...
This page and its child pages contain the coding guidelines for the minimum and conditional data for the airspace subjects as defined in PANS-AIM, for both ATS Airspace and Special
...
activity airspace.
In the PANS-
...
AIM Aeronautical Data Catalogue, ATS airspace is defined as follows:
Airspaces of defined dimensions, alphabetically designated, within which specific types of flights may operate and for which air traffic services and rules of operation are specified
...
...
PANS-AIM lists the
...
following types of
...
ATS airspaces:
- FIR/UIR
- CTA
- TMA
- CTR
| Tip | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| In an AIP, all of these types of |
...
| airspaces are published in section ENR 2.1, except CTR which is published in AD 2.17. |
...
For all of them the AIXM data type codeAirspaceType provides a corresponding value.
...
| You may also find other types of airspaces published in these sections of an AIP ( e.g. OCA, UTA, ATZ, etc.), which are not listed in PANS-AIM. |
PANS-AIM does not define Special activity airspace but is does list a set of airspace types that are considered Special activity airspaces in the Aeronautical Data Catalogue:
- Prohibited Area
- Restricted Area
- Danger Area
- Military
...
- Exercise Area
- Military Training Area
- Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ)
- Other
In the PANS-AIM Aeronautical Data Catalogue also properties for 'Aerial sporting activities airspace' and 'Other regulated airspace' are defined.

ATS Unit providing Service
Restriction & Activation
Hours of applicability / Hours of Service / Time of acitivity
In PANS-AIM different data items are defined for Schedules which are relevant for an airspace or a unit providing service within an airspace.
For ATS airspace, Appendix 1 of PANS-AIM (Aeronautical Data Catalogue) defines the "Hours of applicabiliy" for the airspace and in addtion the "Hours of Service", which are "the operational hours of the station serving the unit".
However, in an AIP the first item is only published for ATS airspaces of section AD 2.17, whereas the latter is only published for ATS airspaces listed in section ENR 2.1.
For Special activity airspaces the "Time of activity" is defined as "Time interval when the special activity takes place".
In the following only those coding rules specfic to the airspace subjects will be discussed.
For the general coding guidelines for the Timesheet refer to Schedule.
Hours of applicabiliy
This information is required for ATS airspaces usually published in "AD 2.17 Air traffic services airspace":
6) hours of applicability;
In AIXM this information will be encoded as Airspace.activation.
...
Hours of Service
This information is required for ATS airspaces usually published in "ENR 2.1 FIR, UIR, TMA AND CTA":
3) call sign of aeronautical station serving the unit and language(s) used, specifying the area and conditions, when and where to be used, if applicable;
In AIXM this information will be encoded as Service.availability.
...
Time of activity
This information is required for Sepecial activity airspaces usually published section in "ENR 5":
In AIXM this information will be encoded as Airspace.activation.

A change proposal (AIXM-391) for the next AIXM 5.2 version has been approved by the AIXM Change Control Board, through which the data type TextNameBaseType is modified, allowing also the use of lowercase characters. The coding guidelines provided here are aligned with forward/backward conversion rules contained in the AIXM-391 Change Proposal. |
Coding Examples
The figure below shows a simple example of a restricted area with the designator EAR7.
More coding examples can be found in the AIP Data Set - Specimen (DONLON).
