Context

This project intends to accelerate the implementation of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/116 (CP1) contributing to:

  • the availability of digital aeronautical data by AISPs and its exchange via SWIM services as required in AF 5.1.3
  • the availability of digital aeronautical data by European AIS Database (‘EAD’) based on the upload of local data from AIS systems as required in AF 3.1.1 and its exchange based on SWIM services as required in AF 5.1.3

Specific objectives of the project

A key objective of CP1 is the digitalization of aeronautical information and its availability via harmonized and interoperable SWIM services.

This project has the initial objective of enabling that aeronautical information becomes available in a digital form, also ensuring an increased level of interoperability and quality assurance. Notably local AISP systems, and EAD are expected to undergo digitalization and data completeness efforts to meet the expectations of CP1 in support of AF 3.1.1 and as intermediary step towards the implementation of AF 5.1.3 SWIM Services. This project contributes to accelerate the establishment of a common reference of harmonized quality-assured, interoperable and digital aeronautical information for the European network on behalf and for the stakeholders. Data originators (e.g., Airports) contributing to the provision of aeronautical information are also in the scope of this project that aims bring the benefits of digitalization and automation to the data chain.

This project has an additional objective of enabling that aeronautical information is exchanged over SWIM services. In this context, AISPs, airports and ANSPs are required by CP1 to provide and/or consume of AIFS, aerodrome mapping and digital NOTAM services.  EAD is also required by CP1 to implement SWIM services as specified in AF 5.1.3, in support of AF3 flexible use of airspace and free route management. AISPs may benefit from the SWIM capabilities of EAD to fulfil the expectations of CP1 AF 5.1.3 for the provision of AIFS, Aerodrome Mapping and Digital NOTAM services. The provision and consumption of these services by stakeholders as mandated in CP1 (AISPs, ANSPs, airports) is an integral part of the project. This second objective of the project is fully dependent on the initial objective that ensures aeronautical data is in a digital form and available in EAD based on the contributions of local data from AIS systems. 

To meet these objectives, processes, and tools, including those already established for local systems and EAD will be developed and/or procured to accelerate the digitalization of aeronautical information and the provision of SWIM AIM services.  

Expected results

By Q2 2025: 

  • AISPs will have an increased level of digitalization with more aeronautical information available in digital form. This supports AISPs in the fulfilment of applicable requirements in AF5.1.3 
  • Airports, AISPs and ANSPs will provide and consume SWIM AIM services as mandated by CP1 AF5.1.3
  • EAD will have an increased level of digitalization with more aeronautical information available in digital form. This enables EAD to fulfil the applicable requirements of AF 3.1.1 in terms of availability of information.
  • EAD will have enhanced interfaces to facilitate the exchange of information via SWIM services. This enables EAD and those AISPs who wish so to use EAD to fulfil the applicable requirements of AF5.1.3

Project Tasks

The project under the leadership of EUROCONTROL is structured in different types of tasks that enable different stakeholders to perform different activities as part of the common project.

The tasks as depicted in the below diagram should be executed in a certain order as they depend upon each other (first digitalization activities before SWIM Service activities).

Organizations can participate in the project to any of the identified tasks, but at least contribute to the data completeness of EAD (either with task T2a or T2b).
