[2.0] [RWY.LIM] Runway - usage limitation change

Definition

The temporary change of a runway usage limitation, covering both the more strict and more permissive cases.

Notes:

this scenario shall be used to notify limiting and prohibiting events other than complete closures of the runway. For notification of aerodrome/heliport closures, refer to RWY.CLS scenario
this scenario shall be used when the facility operates below or above its nominal parameter

Event data

The following diagram identifies the information items that are usually provided by a data originator for this kind of event. Note that the "excepted operations" branch is optional, but can be used more than once. A similar situation occurs for the aircraft/flight branch, where the "other combination" can be used to return and insert additional aircraft/flight conditions.

EBNF Code

input = "airport designator" ["airport name"] ("runway" | "runway direction") ["runway surface composition"] \n
("conditional for" | "closed, except for" |  "prohibited for" | "allowed for")
("operation" ["aircraft"] ["flight"] ["PPR time" ["PPR details"]]) {"operation" ["aircraft"] ["flight"] ["PPR time" ["PPR details"]]} \n 
[reason] "start time" "end time" [schedule] \n
{note}.

The table below provides more details about each information item contained in the diagram. It also provides the mapping of each information item within the AIXM 5.1.1 structure. The name of the variable (first column) is recommended for use as label of the data field in human-machine interfaces (HMI).

Data item	Value	AIXM mapping
airport designator	The published designator of the airport where the runway is located, used in combination with airport name, runway or landing direction in order to identify the runway concerned.	AirportHeliport.designator
airport name	The published name of the airport where the runway is located, used in order to identify the runway concerned.	AirportHeliport.name
runway	The published designator of the runway (or FATO) concerned. This information is used in combination with the airport designator/name in order to identify the runway (or FATO), for which it is assumed that both landing directions are concerned by the limitation.	Runway.designator
runway direction	The published designator of the runway direction concerned. This information is used in combination with the airport designator/name in order to identify the concerned landing direction.	RunwayDirection.designator
runway surface composition	In cases where there are two runways with the same designator but different surfaces (for instance RWY 07/25, one concrete and the second gravel or grass), the surface composition needs to be provided.	Runway.surfaceProperties/SurfaceCharacteristics.composition
conditional for	The description of one or more operations (such as "landing of non-scheduled aircraft") which is permitted under special conditions, usually a prior permission requirement	RunwayDirection.availability.ManoeuvringAreaAvailability.operationalStatus with value 'LIMITED' and RunwayDirection/..Availability/..Usage.type with value 'CONDITIONAL'
closed, except for	Runway is closed, except for operations explicitly identified in the input data.	RunwayDirection.availability.ManoeuvringAreaAvailability.operationalStatus with value 'LIMITED' and RunwayDirection/..Availability/..Usage.type with value 'RESERV'
prohibited for	The description of one or more operations (such as "touch and go") that are prohibited for during the event duration.	RunwayDirection.availability.ManoeuvringAreaAvailability.operationalStatus with value 'LIMITED' and RunwayDirection/..Availability/..Usage.type with value 'FORBID'
additionally allowed for	The description of one or more additional operations (such as "180 deg turn allowed for acft" or "touch-and-go allowed") that are available for a specific purpose during the event duration.	RunwayDirection.availability.ManoeuvringAreaAvailability.operationalStatus with value 'OTHER:EXTENDED' and RunwayDirection/..Availability/..Usage.type with value 'PERMIT'
operation	The specific type of operation concerned by the usage limitation update	RunwayDirection/..Availability/..Usage.operation with the following list of values CodeOperationManoeuvringAreaType
aircraft	The description of one or more aircraft (such as "helicopter") types are permitted or prohibited (depending on the limitation type) during the event duration.	AirportHeliport/..Availability/..Usage/..selection/..AircraftCharacteristics Only the following AircraftCharacteristics properties are allowed to be used in this scenario: type, engine, wingSpan, wingSpanInterpretation, weight, weightInterpretation.
flight	The description of one or more type of flight categories (such as "emergency") that are permitted or prohibited (depending on the limitation type) during the event duration.	AirportHeliport/..Availability/..Usage/..selection/..FlightCharacteristics. Only the following FlightCharacteristics properties are allowed to be used in this scenario: type, rule, status, military, origin, purpose.
PPR time	The value (minutes, hours, days) of the prior permission request associated with a permitted operation.	RunwayDirection/..Availability/..Usage/.priorPermission with attribute uom specified.
PPR details	Additional information concerning the prior permission requirement.	RunwayDirection/..Availability/..Usage.annotation with propertyName='priorPermission'
reason	The reason for the runway usage limitation.	RunwayDirection/ManoeuvringAreaAvailability.annotation with propertyName="operationalStatus" and purpose="REMARK". Note that the property "warning" of the ManoeuvringAreaAvailability class is not used here because it represents a reason for caution when allowed to operate on the runway, not a reason for a limitation.
start time	The effective date & time when the runway limitation starts. This might be further detailed in a "schedule".	RunwayDirection/RunwayDirectionTimeSlice/TimePeriod.beginPosition, Event/EventTimeSlice.validTime/timePosition and Event/EventTimeSlice.featureLifetime/beginPosition
end time	The end date & time when the runway limitation ends.	RunwayDirection/RunwayDirectionTimeSlice/TimePeriod.endPosition and Event/EventTimeSlice.featureLifetime/endPosition also applying the rules for {{Events with estimated end time}}
schedule	A schedule might be provided, in case the runway's usage is effectively limited according to a regular timetable, within the overall limitation period.	RunwayDirection/ManoeuvringAreaAvailability/Timesheet/...according to the rules for {{Schedules}}
note	A free text note that provides further details concerning the runway limitation.	RunwayDirection/ManoeuvringAreaAvailability.annotation with purpose=”REMARK”

Assumptions for baseline data

It is assumed that following BASELINE TimeSlices covering the entire duration of the event exist and have been coded as specified in the Coding Guidelines for the (ICAO) AIP Data Set:

AirportHeliport BASELINE as specified in the Basic Data for Airport/Heliport,
Runway BASELINE according to the coding rules for Basic Data for Runway;
RunwayDirection BASELINE according to the coding rules for Basic Data Runway Direction, including the coding rules for Runway usage.

Data encoding rules

The data encoding rules provided in this section shall be followed in order to ensure the harmonisation of the digital encodings provided by different sources. The compliance with some of these encoding rules can be checked with automatic data validation rules. When this is the case, the number of the encoding rule is mentioned in the data validation rule.

Identifier	Data encoding rule
ER-01	The temporary limitation of a runway shall be encoded as: a new Event with a BASELINE Timeslice (scenario=”RWY.LIM”, version=”2.0”) for which a PERMDELTA TimeSlice may also be provided and a TimeSlice of type TEMPDELTA for each affected RunwayDirection feature, for which the "event:theEvent" property points to the Event instance created above. Note that in case a full runway is concerned by the limitation, then a TEMPDELTA shall be encoded for each of its RunwayDirection features.
ER-02	First, all the BASELINE availability.ManoeuvringAreaAvailability (with operationalStatus=NORMAL), if present, shall be copied in the TEMPDELTA (see Usage limitation and closure scenarios). Then, an additional availability.ManoeuvringAreaAvailability element shall be included in the RunwayDirection TEMPDELTA having: operationalStatus=LIMITED if the runway usage is "conditional for", "closed, except for", "prohibited for"; operationalStatus=OTHER:EXTENDED if the runway usage is "allowed for".
ER-03	If the runway usage is "conditional for" specified operations, flight and/or aircraft categories, then all specified limitations shall be encoded as ManoeuvringAreaUsage child elements with type=CONDITIONAL.
ER-04	If the runway is "closed, except for" specified operations, flight and/or aircraft categories, then all specified limitations shall be encoded as ManoeuvringAreaUsage child elements with type=RESERV.
ER-05	If the runway usage is "prohibited for" specified operations, flight and/or aircraft categories, all specified limitations shall be encoded as ManoeuvringAreaUsage child elements with type=FORBID.
ER-06	If the runway usage is "allowed for" specified operations, flight and/or aircraft categories, all specified limitations shall be encoded as ManoeuvringAreaUsage child elements with type=PERMIT.
ER-07	If a unique flight or aircraft is specified as part of the condition, they shall be encoded as one ConditionCombination with logicalOperator="NONE". Otherwise, each pair of flight and aircraft shall be encoded as one ConditionCombination with logicalOperator="AND".
ER-08	For every ManoeuvringAreaUsage encoded, the aixm:operation shall be specified.
ER-09	If PPR time is specified, the uom attribute shall also be specified.
ER-10	If the limitation concerns only a discrete schedule within the overall time period between the "start time" and the "end time", then this shall be encoded using as many as necessary timeInterval/Timesheet properties for the ManoeuvringAreaAvailability (with operationalStatus='LIMITED' or 'OTHER:EXTENDED') of all affected RunwayDirection TEMPDELTA Timeslice(s). See the rules for Event Schedules.
ER-11	The system shall automatically identify the FIR where the AerodromeHeliport is located. This shall be coded as corresponding concernedAirspace property in the Event
ER-12	The AirportHeliport concerned by the closure shall also be coded as concernedAirportHeliport property in the Event.
