Icon Legend The AIS World Is Product-Centric The AIM World is Data-Centric Aeronautical Assets (eg. avaids) Products Products Obstacles AIP AIP Terrain OTAM OTAM Flight Procedures Briefings Briefings Charts Digital OTAMs OTAMs Focus on Products (product/paper-centric) Often duplication of data. o single truth Data often varies in accuracy and precision Similar data often lives in silos/compartments Focus on Digital Data and Products One truth correct and consistent One owner for each data type Data is shared Electronic Charts Future Products 4
Key Driver: Satellite Based avigation ICAO Roadmap AIS to AIM PB/RP/RAV requires greater accuracy and integrity than ever in Aeronautical Information Information Management Moving from AIS to AIM is a business change ot (just) a technology change Benefits Implementing PB Enhanced safety Increased System capacity Reduced fuel consumption More efficient use of airspace Environmental benefits Reduction in cancellations Going Digital Consolidation Step 1 Vision and Plan 5

Agenda The ext Steps 1. Introduction to MDA 2. What is AIS to AIM? 3. FAA Approach to AIM 4. AIM Transition Planning 5. ext Steps MDA has extensive experience in planning business change in the Aviation domain MDA is supporting the FAA in their AIS to AIM transition Time is short. ICAO is pushing AIS to AIM transition through SARPS. Annex 15 Amendment 36 is applicable now. Annex 15 Amendment 37 is applicable 2013. MDA can support or lead the development of an AIS to AIM Plan involving stakeholders from all aviation agencies The plan can be incrementally developed and funded 15
