Subramanyam Nadavala – L3 Comm. Why AIXM? AIXM is the language of aeronautical information and foundation for modernizing AIS • Three Challenges – Safety – Capacity – Institutional Issues • One Opportunity – Enabling next generation air traffic concepts AIS Safety Issues Information Overload and Inconsistencies • Pilot situational awareness, comprehension and synthesis jeopardized • Customer Aeronautical Information Overload – Customers need to AIP • Manually parse and evaluate multiple products • Deal with inconsistent, missing, inaccurate information • Use paper products • Need multiple sources to get complete picture We must transform to digital, consolidated, globallyinteroperable aeronautical information AIS Capacity Improve Predictability Through Better Information • • • • • • • Airport Capacity Airspace Capacity Weather Energy Environmental Air Traffic Operations Finance Graphic taken from June 2005 NextGen Policy Briefing (jpdo.gov) Our customers need high-quality real-time information to react efficiently in a dynamic airspace environment. AIS Institutional Issues • Policy issues – Regulations – Legal • Liability • Intellectual property – Cost recovery – Sovereignty – Global standards • Difficult to provide new services using legacy AIS concepts •xNOTAMs •eAIP •Custom Charts •Electronic Flight Bag •Cockpit Displays •ADS-B •FMS •Obstacle data files •Aerodrome Maps – Potentially costly, inaccurate and unsafe We cannot support future requirements with a “business as usual” approach.
