Creating the digital landscape for AIS to AIM GE Aeronautical Information Management Services

Annex 15: ICAO’s requirements for data “ The role and importance of aeronautical data changed significantly with the implementation of area navigation (RNAV), RNP and airborne computer- based navigation systems. Corrupt or erroneous aeronautical data can potentially affect the safety of air navigation.”

So what’s the problem?....... Data collected over many years Exists in multiple forms and formats Transformed to digital by some but no regards for accuracy More digital data – expectations for maintaining increased No real effort related to accuracy to trace back to source When re-using data – quality is first and most important factor To determine quality – need to know origin

What’s the solution?....... GE Aeronautical Information Management States must update and integrate all Brand new, built from info to a single, consistent data standard scratch database DO-200A process, AIXM 5.x fomat Ensure data connects NAS to form seamless integrated highly accurate data system of nav and airport data

GE invests in the future Area 1 Terrain & Imagery Area 2 eTOD 2D & 3D AMDB GE investing in very hi-res, high accuracy data sets that meet Annex 15 Area 2 eTOD

ICAO Area Definitions

New eTOD standards for all countries to achieve meet by 2015

Airport Maps and Area 2 eTOD

Electronic Terrain & Obstacle Data (eTOD) ICAO Area 2 eTOD provides 3 meter vertical accuracy, 5 meter horizontal accuracy, sub meter resolution

Airport Mapping Database Digital 2D & 3D AMDBs Optimize airport surface operations with a smart geospatial representation of the airport to enable gate-to-gate PBN-like surface operations.
