Development of a Glossary of Terms;

Follow-up activities to AIS-AIMSG/1 Actions Agreed ;

Transition from AIS to AIM - the ANSP´s perspective;

Break-out session.


Development of a Glossary of Terms

Urgent need for a common understanding of definitions and processes;

It is important for the ANS Industry to speak “one language” and provide clarity to its stakeholders;

The expected deliverable is to develop a “Glossary”;

The final draft will be discussed and agreed at the AIMWG4 meeting in March 2010;

This CANSO “Glossary of AIM terms” can then be duly considered by the ICAO AIS-AIMSG.


Follow-up activities to AIS-AIMSG/1

1/5 Draft Amendment 36 to Annex 15: Electronic terrain and obstacle data;

1/19 Guidance material on AIS training;

1/20 AIS quality manual;

1/31 Aeronautical Chart Manual (Doc 8697);

1/32 Legal and Institutional issues.


Break-out session

Restructuring of Annex 15 and Future IAIP;

Future service provision;

Future role of AIS providers and

System Wide Information Management (SWIM).


New structure of Annex 15

Remaining sections - introduction, definition, general, quality management system, AIRAC;

AIS products (“the legacy“) - AIP, NOTAM, AIC… + eAIP;AIM services (“the vision“) – TBD.


Extended scope of Annex 15

Terrain Data;Parameters required for environmental evaluations;Capacity Relevant Information;Additional inputs for a common operational picture; andFusion of AIM and MET data.


SARPS - contents and format for AIM services

Raw data: Navigation, Airspace, aerodromes, eTOD, AMDBs;

Front end: to access / dislay raw data (e.g. based on a GIS);

Briefing;

Temporal considerations (link to Digital NOTAM).


NOTAMS, ASHTAMS, SNOWTAMS …

All special-NOTAM format to be progressively withdrawn and replaced by Digital NOTAM;

The special-NOTAM format SARPs to be put in Guidance Material.


AIS products vs. AIM services

Need to accommodate the various development status among the 190 ICAO States – an incremental approach;Interim step: AIM services is an option;When AIM services are provided, they take precedence over AIS products that can:

Either be derived from AIM services;Or not be provided any more.


Future service provision

User oriented – Users will need their own applications for further processing and/or display of customised data;Standards for data centric environment:

Common format;Interoperability;

System to system data exchange;Increased responsibility of Data Providers;Human factor – staff qualification;Data Quality (accuracy, resolution, integrity).


Future role of AIS providers

The role of AIS providers could be changed significantly;New role of data originators

They could created raw data in digital form and transfer it directly to AIS;

Introduction of Digital NOTAM will change the role of NOTAM Offices

Update of static database in (real) time;

SLA´s with data providers/users;Oversight and monitoring functions;Training of data originators.


Future development and implementation

Safety Management Systems (SMS) for AIS/AIM providers;Workflow and Metadata management tools;Common specifications of interfaces;Service Level Management;Data Quality Assurance tools andTraining/Qualification of data originators.


SWIM

Technically: as an Intranet interconnecting all actors in SWIM ;

Operationally: The Data side approach - the specification of data items which different actors need and consequently derives the services from the data required;The Service side approach - the services that need to be provided and derives data which need to be modelled.


Conclusions

The various development status among the 190 ICAO States – the paper provides the views of ANSP´s on the future development;Urgent need for a development of common definitions and processes and scope of AIS/AIM/IM in the SWIM content;Information Management becomes a key enabler for the future ATM System. It does not mean physically taking over all information related functions by AIM;The role of AIS providers will change significantly;CANSO fully support the common incremental approach based on ICAO AIS-AIM Roadmap.
