Questions to the Audience?

Do you know which aeronautical data you are using for your operations today? Do you know if the aeronautical data you are using is meeting the required quality requirements for a safe operation today? How are you ensuring that the aeronautical data required tomorrow is going to meet the quality requirements (e.g. PBN)? Do you know if the data you are using is from an authoritative source (trusted source, traceability, etc.)?

AIMWG – The Deliverables in 2015/2016

• Development of a new ICAO Annex 15 and a PANS-AIM

• AIM Data Catalogue

• Charting Manual • Quality Manual • Training Manual

Purpose of the AIM Data Catalogue

The Data Catalogue included in PANS-AIM Appendix xx shall be considered as a reference for all provisions related to aeronau-tical data origination and publication; The Data Catalogue provides a common language that can be used by data providers/originators and AIM; The Data Catalogue consolidates data that may be collected & maintained by AIM The Data Catalogue is the source of the accuracy and integrity requirements for determination and reporting of aeronautical data to AIM included in Annex 15 Chapter 4 as well as the source of the resolution and integrity requirements for publi-cation and charting of products including aeronautical data included in Annex 15

AIM Data Domains

Aerodromes; Airspaces; ATS Routes; Instrument Flight Procedures; Radio Navigation Aids / Systems; Obstacles and Geographic Information.

Data Catalogue Time Table

Finalisation of a mature draft AIM Data Catalogue until end of April covering all ICAO Annexes, PANS and Docs; Distribution of the Data Catalogue to nominated points of contact of the OSC WGs (Instrument Flight Procedure, Airspace/Routes, Airports, Nav Aids) for review; Provide all comments until end of August 2015 and submit to AIMWG volunteers; Review and incorporation of comments provided; Submission of draft Data Catalogue to the ICAO AIS-AIMSG for approval and incorporation in PANS-AIM.

Nominations for Data Catalogue Review

We require subject matter experts from the domains to perform a review between beginning of May until end of August 2015. Could the Chairs of the involved domains (Instrument Flight Procedure, Airspace/Routes, Airports, Nav Aids) act as focal points to get the subject matter experts involved?

Questions to the Audience

Should the AIM Data Catalogue be provided accessible online? Should the AIM Data Catalogue be provided in the public domain (as an online database)? What other considerations shall the AIMWG take into account for the AIM Data Catalogue? …

Summary

The AIMWG is focusing on the deliverables as agreed in for AIMWG Work Plan has been aligned with the CANSO Vision 2020. The AIMWG is currently actively contributing to the work of the ICAO AIS-AIM SG (CANSO AIMWG Rep: Kelly Hicks, NavCanada, supported by three advisors from the AIMWG: Peter Rudolf, Avitech; Ruedi Schneeberger, ITV Consult; Roland Baumann, skyguide) a major deliverable is the AIM Data Catalogue. The AIMWG is liaising with the CANSO ICAO IMP (CANSO Rep: Kelly Hicks, NavCanada)
