Industry goals

• Good, fast, and cost-effective • Improve the speed and accuracy of data/charts• Streamline workflows for efficiency

• Authoritative data• Produce data that can be trusted• Share and exchange

• Commercial-off-the-shelf solution • Eliminate the need to develop custom code or scripts

Esri Aeronautical Solution

• Esri Aeronautical Solution includes tools and features to enable aeronautical information capture, management and database-driven cartographic production of aeronautical charts.

Esri Aeronautical Solution Components

• Key Features• Data Management Tools; Import and

export of AIXM 4.5, centralized data management, manage obstacle data using an eTOD compliant data model.

• Product Management Tools; for symbology and text via the Visual Specifications, manage products, detailed cartography.

• Quality Control Tools; to streamline production workflow, automated quality control, tracking and controlling editing processes in a multi-user environment

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.
