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 5.3.2 Other potential hazards
  • ENR 5.5 Aerial sporting and recreational activities

Note

"ENR 5.6 Bird migration and areas with sensitive fauna" are not marked as #AIP-DS# in the PANS-AIM.

Info

PANS AIM 5.3.3.1.1 lists "ATS Airspace" and "Special activity airspaces". The PANS-AIM Aeronautical Data Catalogue, 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.

Basic Mapping

PANS-AIMDescription (PANS-AIM)AIXM 5Definition (AIXM 5.1.1)Remarks
Type

Type of special activity airspace

Note 1 type: Prohibited Area, Restricted Area, Danger Area, Military Execise Area, Military Training Area, Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ), Other

Airspace.type

or

Airspace.localType



type: An indicator of the general structure or characteristics of a particular airspace.

localType: A type designator used locally (inside a State or a Region) for a particular airspace sub-category. 

The localType attribute may be used for those types for which the AIXM attribute Airspace.type does not provide a dedicated value.

IdentificationThe identification assigned to uniquely identify the airspaceAirspace.designator

NameThe name given to the airspace by a responsible authorityAirspace.name

Lateral limitsThe surface defining the horizontal shape of the airspace

AirspaceVolume.horizonalProjection.Surface,

AirspaceVolume.horizontalProjection.Surface.horizontalAccuracy


AirspaceVolume.centreline.Curve,

AirspaceVolume.centreline.Curve.horizontalAccuracy


An airspace may have a boundary or also may also be defined as corridor.

The lateral limits of an Airspace may also be defined by an aggregation of other airspaces. The coding guidelines explain in detail how different geometries are encoded.

Vertical limits - Upper limitThe upper limit of the airspace

AirspaceVolume.upperLimit,

AirspaceVolume.upperLimitReference


The vertical limits of an Airspace may also be defined by an aggregation of other airspaces. The coding guidelines explain in detail how different geometries are encoded.
Vertical limits - Lower limitThe lower limit of the airspace

AirspaceVolume.lowerLimit,

AirspaceVolume.lowerLimitReference


The vertical limits of an Airspace may also be defined by an aggregation of other airspaces. The coding guidelines explain in detail how different geometries are encoded.
RestrictionType of restriction or nature of hazardAirspace.activation.AirspaceActivation.activity


ActivationInformation on system and means of activation announcements together with information pertinent to civil flights and applicable ADIZ procedures;Airspace.annotation.Note.propertyName equal to  'activation'

Time of activityTime interval when the special activity takes placeAirspace.activation.AirspaceActivation.timeInterval

Risk of interceptionRisk of interception in the event of penetration

Airspace.annotation.Note


Only required for Airspace.type equal-to 'ADIZ'.

Additional Mapping (Advisory Measures & Authority Responsible for the Provision of Information)

PANS-AIM ENR 5.3.1 also requires information about

advisory measures and authority responsible for the provision of information

Corresponding properties are not included of PANS-AIM Appendix 1.

Open Question Authority resp for INFO

There are 4 options to code that information

  1. Via Authority For Airspace
  2. Via  AirspaceActivation
  3. Via Service?
  4.  Note
    Which should be applied? In case a Freq shall be provided the only way is to go via Service.

Additional Mapping (Operator)

PANS-AIM ENR 5.5 also requires information about

operator/user telephone number

Note

A corresponding property is included in PANS-AIM Appendix 1, Table A1-2 Airspace data, Aerial sporting activities airspace.

PANS-AIMDescription (PANS-AIM)AIXM 5Remarks
OperatorContact details (Tel. Nr. or Frequency) of operator / user

Airspace.activation.AirspaceActivation.user,

OrganisationAuthority.contact.ContactInformation.phoneFax.TelephoneContact.voice


Option (in case Frequency has to be defined):

Service.clientAirspace

and

Service.groundCommunication.ContactInformation.phoneFax.TelephoneContact.voice

Only relevant for airspaces published in ENR 5.5


Open Question: Frequency

For Frequency the only option is to go via Service. It seems unlikely that for an Aerial sporting activities airspace any of the Services defined in AIXM 5.1.1 will be provided.

Shall Service be used anyway (with e.g. Information Service with type OTHER:)?
