Overview of eTOD• Obstacle: All fixed and mobile

objects that are located on an area intended for the surface movement of aircraft or that extend above a defined surface intended to protect aircraft in flight.

• Data is defined by four coverage areas around any airport, and stored in a geodatabase with ICAO-defined attributes for the obstacle and terrain feature classes.

eTOD feature class

• AIS data model schema accommodates data to meet the eTOD requirements

• The model includes four feature classes-• Point Obstacle, • Line Obstacle, • Polygonal Obstacle, • Obstacle Area.

• Rules: ensure that participating authorities capture and manage obstacle and terrain data necessary for aviation maps and charts, as required by ICAO.

• Metadata: information on data including the source, data accuracy, date of acquisition among others.
