Purpose and Scope
These 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 PANS-AIM only ATS airspace is defined:
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, Appendix 1 Aeronautical Data Catalogue).
According PANS-AIM the follwing types of airspaces are considerd as ATS airspaces:
- FIR/UIR
- CTA
- TMA
- CTR
In an AIP all of them 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.
According PANS-AIM, the following types of airspaces are considerd Special Activity Airspaces:
- Prohibited Area
- Restricted Area
- Danger Area
- Military Execise Area
- Military Training Area
- Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ)
- Other
In an AIP these types of airspaces are published in the following sections:
- 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
For Prohibited Area, Prohibited Area, Prohibited Area and Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) the AIXM data type codeAirspaceType provides corresponding values. Other airspaces may be encoded as described in page Basic Data of Airspace.
