Most airspaces may be encoded with just one AirspaceVolume, i.e. a set of vertical limits and one horizontalProjection without referencing or copying other airspace geometries.

The geometry of most airspaces can be coded with a single AirspaceVolume, by providing its horizontalProjection and vertical limits. In this case the attributes of the association

class AirspaceComponentGeometry (i.e. operation and operationSequence)

left empty.
For the GML encoding of the Surface see topic Geometry.
Coding Example
The figure below shows a simple example of such an airspace, a Prohibited Area with designator EAP2.
...
The figure below shows the encoding of an AirspaceVolume mapped from the AIXM UML to the AIXM XML:
Note that the coding of the upper limit does not conform with the guidelines. It should be 'FT' 'UNL' instead of 'FL' '999'.
