3 Who is the FANS Group? Successor company from the Airport Mapping line of business at Space-Imaging & GeoEye, who was the largest Obstacle and Airport mapping organization in the world. Over 2,000 airports and accompanying Obstacles mapped from 2003 thru 2013 for Government & commercial customers. Hired by IATA for many projects in Latin America including most recently Toluca (TLC) and San Jose (SJO) for airline customers. FANS principals have co-authored the relevant specifications in this business: RTCA DO-272 (Aerodrome Mapping) RTCA DO-276 (Terrain & Obstacle Mapping) RTCA DO-291 (Aviation Electronic Exchange Model)
4 Business Problem Air Transportation has reached the Saturation Point in 2015..
Everything starts with the Global Air 5 Navigation Plan.. ICAO has published a Global Air Navigation Plan (G.A.N.P.), that implements a complete Migration to Future Air Navigation Systems (FANS). The GANP allows countries to package their upgrades according to available resources. This provides a clear, planned & structured pathway towards the Future Air Navigation System (FANS) for all ICAO nations. The US is implementing these Operations Concepts into the system known as Next Generation Air Transportation System or NextGEN. In Europe, this is known as Single European Sky or SESAR. Mexico s DGAC (a FANS Group Customer) is a Strategic participant to the Block Upgrade process in Latin America & North America towards supporting NextGEN & SESAR.
Cornerstone of GANP is PBN 6
7 Structure of the GANP Our ASUR project is one of the earliest steps towards adoption of Blocks Zero (0) & One (1), enhancing present and future air traffic in the 9 ASUR airports- Mexico s largest and most valuable Tourist Destinations.
Key Block Upgrade themes require etod & Airport Digital Maps.. 8 Airport Operations. Require knowledge of Obstacles to optimized Arrival & Departure procedures. Require knowledge of Airport Map to optimize Surface Movements. Globally Inter-Operable Systems & Data. Require knowledge of Obstacles and Airport Map to share with all relevant stakeholders ATM, Airline, Military, and others. Optimum Capacity & Flexible Flights. Require knowledge of Obstacles and Airport Map to implement PBN Arrivals and Departures to improve hourly capacity. Efficient Flight Paths Require knowledge of Obstacles to minimise flight times, noise, and carbon emissions, while maximizing Safety and Revenues. To succeed, we need a Common Language.
Backbone of the Block Upgrades: System Wide Information Management (SWIM) 9
Before SWIM: 10
After SWIM: 11
12 AIXM is the data glue for SWIM Aeronautical Information exchange Model (AIXM) An XML specification for all Aeronautical Information Replaces paper Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP) Allows all 200+ ICAO signatory countries to electronically share their AIP information in a common data format Enables the use of Digital NOTAMS, where the critical airmen s information is tied to a database record, not just text A companion format known as Flight Information exchange Model (FIXM) delivers Aircraft Position reporting in 4D Improved Collision Avoidance and Spacing Performance A 3 rd companion format - Weather Information exchange Model (WIXM) Reports weather worldwide in a standard format.
13 What Does AIXM look like? XML encoded with lat/long that becomes GML. Compliant with Open-GIS consortium standards. Compliant with ISC TC-211 standards. Managed by a group of EUROCONTROL, FAA, NATO, NGA and other organizations. Public domain reserved for Aviation. Versions in use are 4.5 and 5.1 for the most part.
What Does AIXM look like? 14
Life Cycle of SWIM Flight Ops 15 NextGEN or SESAR the Life Cycle is the same..
2 SWIM Information Sharing 16
Where is etod required in Flight Ops? Life Cycle Phase Why it requires etod data Departure Management Terrain data for Engine-Outs Obstacle data for Engine-Outs Airport Maps to minimize taxiing Cadastral & Environment data for Departures PBN Flight Operations Terrain data for PBN separation Obstacle data for PBN separation Terrain data for Drift-Down/Let down Metroplex Terrain data for SID/STAR Obstacle data for SID/STAR Cadastral & Environment data for SID/STAR In-Trail Enroute Terrain data for PBN separation Obstacle data for PBN separation Terrain data for Drift-Down/Let down Continuous Descent Terrain data for SID/STAR Obstacle data for SID/STAR Cadastral & Environment data for SID/STAR Surface Movements Airport Maps to minimize taxiing 17

28 What are the Specifics of A-15? Annex-15 Divides the World into four simple categories of airspace and the land underneath. Intended to provide single global standard to support single global standard for PBN Navigation separation.
29 What are the numbers of A-15? Accuracy. A degree of conformance between the estimated or measured value and the true value. Resolution. A number of units or digits to which a measured or calculated value is expressed and used.

Case Study: etod for ASUR airports 33 Terrain & Obstacles delivery Airport Mapping delivery Database standard is EUROCAE ED-98(A). Obstacle Criteria is ICAO Annex 4, Annex 14 (1 st Phase) and Annex-15 (2 nd Phase). Coverage is ICAO Area-2ABC. Formats include: AIXM, SHP, AutoCAD, KML/KMZ Airport Mapping Database (AMDB) standard is EUROCAE ED-99(B). All features include building or obstacle ground elevation, and height of structure or feature. These AMDB are suitable for all ICAO requirements, as well as being used in Airline Electronic Flight Bag systems such as ipads. Formats include: AIXM, SHP, AutoCAD, KML/KMZ Provides pathway to FAA and EUROCONTROL D-NOTAMS.
How did MAPA collect the imagery? 34
1 st Example Airport: MMBT One Runway, No ILS 35
ICAO Annex-15 Compliance: 36 Point 1268 Line 23 Polygon 622
ICAO Annex-14 Compliance: 37 Point 75 Line 2 Polygon 59
Annex 14 = Type B Obstacles 38
ICAO Annex-4 Compliance: 39 Point 0 Line 0 Polygon 1
40 Annex-4 = Type A Obstacles for 07.
Annex-4 = Type A Obstacles for 25. 41
Important Lesson: Must begin with Annex-15, to support all others! 42

ICAO Annex-4 Compliance Runway 28 Departure (TOFPA) 47 Point 19 Line 7 Polygon 6
ICAO Annex-4 Compliance Runway 36 Departure (TOFPA) 48 Point 64 Line 7 Polygon 20
Annex-4 = Type A Obstacles for 10 49
Annex-4 = Type A Obstacles for 28 50
Annex-4 = Type A Obstacles for 18 51
Annex-4 = Type A Obstacles for 36 52
Tip: How do we keep Obstacles in (each) correct Criteria? 53 We assign a serial number to each Obstacle during the process of Annex-15 identification because it is the largest area. Annex- 4 When we re-process the Obstacle for Annex-14, we keep the same serial number. When we re-process the Obstacle for Annex-4, we keep the same serial number. Annex- 14 Annex-15 So the Obstacle may appear one, two or all three times, but the actual data is only created once.
OK but how does this help ICAO? 54 FAA Mexico EUROCONTROL SWIM

62 Conclusions: The Air Transportation industry can only solve it s problems by the structured implementation of ICAO Block Upgrades as defined in the GANP. Most Block Upgrades requires a sound foundation of etod and Airport Mapping information. ICAO Annex-15 provides a reliable standard for how to collect etod and Airport Maps. FANS Implementations such as NextGEN and SESAR will reward those Airports who embrace etod and Airport Maps sooner with opportunities for increased traffic.
