Airspace - AIXM Coding Checklist

The following table provided a complete overview of the AIXM 5 features/objects and properties relevant for the coding of airspaces which will be published as part of an PANS-AIM defined AIP data set.

The table also gives an indication if the property is mandatory for an AIP data set and under which conditions.
