This page contains the mapping for the following data items as defined in PANS-AIM, chapter 5.3.3.1.1
b) Special activity airspace (type, name, lateral limits, vertical limits, restriction, activation);
These properties which are considered as minimum AIP data set for Special activities airspace are mapped to the following main AIXM 5 features:
Besides the minimum AIP data set items, additional data items specified in the following sections of Appendix 2 of PANS-AIM - which are marked with #AIP-DS# - are taken into consideration for the mapping. In the context of this mapping, these properties are conditional AIP data set items.
- ENR 5.1 Prohibited, restricted and danger areas
ENR 5.2 Military exercise and training areas and air defence identification zone (ADIZ)
- ENR 5.3.1 Other activities of a dangerous nature
- ENR 5.5 Aerial sporting and recreational activities
Note
"ENR 5.3.2 Other potential hazards" & "ENR 5.6 Bird migration and areas with sensitive fauna" are not marked as #AIP-DS# in the PANS-AIM.
PANS-AIM Issue
PANS AIM 5.3.3.1.1 lists "ATS Airspace" and "Special activity airspaces". PANS-AIM Appendix 1 in addition also defines "Aerial sporting activities airspace". Besides the property "operator" all the other properties of Aerial sporting activities airspace can also be found as property for Special activity airspaces. Hence, the mapping is done for all the Special activity airspaces and for Aerial sporting activities airspace only the additional property "operator" is mapped additionally.
