Current Aeronautical Data Management (1)

• Centralised Airspace and Capacity Database – CACD

Static Data• ENR part of the AIP + FIR Airspace Data• ATC Sector Data• Terminal procedures

• SID, STAR

• Aerodrome Data, including RWY• Restrictions (RAD, EU/EURO, FUA, FRA, …)

Dynamic Data• ATFCM Data

• Capacity figures, Sector Configurations, Traffic Volumes, Scenarios

• ASM Data• Route Availability, Restricted Airspace availability (Military area’s, Specific Area’s,…)

Client Data• 23.000 units for flight plan distribution and ETFMS messages• CCMAS data for code distribution

CACDCADF

04/21/23 5

Centralised Airspace & Capacity Database – CACD• Aeronautical Infrastructure Database used for NM Ops System• Both live and AIRAC updates• Pre-Validations on request of ANSP for major infrastructure changes• Publication of European Airspace Use Plan (EAUP) and updates (EUUP)

Data Alignment between EAD & CACD

• Airspace Data Repository project - ADR

• More than 10,000 records examined• Data alignment completed on AD & Points and on going for Routes

and AS• Missing data in EAD & CACD identified• We know where the inconsistencies are; to bring the publication and

operational processes closer• Some 10 Data Harmonization Objectives proposed/approved via

EUROCONTROL Stakeholder Working Groups (e.g. publication of intermediate Flight levels)

04/21/23 13

Findings during ADR Project

• Missing data in EAD• Sector data;• 1995 sectors of CACD compared with EAD• 1388 not found in EAD/SDO (70%)

• Data Harmonisation and Inconsistencies• Required for Points, Routes and AS• Upper and lower limits of routes are left for interpretation

• Crossborder information• discrepancies and confusion is caused when neighboring countries are not

coordinating• FIR boundary changes, Gap’s and/or overlaps• Boundary points, route changes involving boundary points

ADR Lessons Learned

• Integration between the AIS Publication and the ATM Flight Operations processes is a key enabler

• EAD Data Completeness and SDO Migration of all EAD Data Providers is a prerequisite

• Non AIP/ATM Data Provision requires similar process as in EAD• (e.g. operational sectors, runway configurations..) beyond Annex 15

• Data Harmonization & Consistency • More players making use of the static data as basis for their operations emphasize further the

need for consistent data

• We have gained experience to shape the future, where AIM data directly serves the ATM Operations
