FIXM Terminology & Technology• FICM: Flight Object Conceptual Model :

• High level, implementation independent flight object concepts and the relationships between the concepts.

• FIXM: Flight Object Logical Model : • Exchange model based on the information

model• Implementation independent with more

details for the concepts and relationships• Identifies relevant standards

• FIXS: The Flight Object Schema : • Machine-generated implementation of the

FIXM model and any associated data model standards

Unified Modeling Language(UML)

Summary

• FIXM is AIXM / WXXM for Flight Data• Scope is initially limited to Inter-region exchanges and Airspace

Users exchanges• Will start small …FIXM V1.0 scope is 2012 FPL, GUFI, NAS

Flight plan data and some elements from Ed133.. • P8.1.9 will work on FIXM information modelling• Need to also work on other aspects – architecture, services etc.
