1 Aena’s New Aeronautical Information Management System: Implementation of an AIXM-based GIS Environment

Current environment at Aena Legacy systems; difficult data flow to other systems (EAD, ATC system (SACTA), etc)Legacy systems; difficult data flow to other systems (EAD, ATC system (SACTA), etc) Manual data exchange prone to errorsManual data exchange prone to errors Product centric, CAD-based environmentProduct centric, CAD-based environment –No centralized aeronautical data management –Difficult to automate…low productivity –Labor intensive update process –Edits made in multiple places (data, charts, etc) –Non-automated QC process 2

Scope of Project Revamp current system to a GIS-based approach to managing aeronautical data and products 3 Automate aeronautical information system Manage central database Automate charting –Approach / Departure Charts –Enroute Charts –Visual Charts Production to start end of 2008; progressive production schedule

ESRI Technology Modernizing Aena’s operations Centralized GeodatabaseCentralized Geodatabase –Schema based on AICM 4.5 –Single edits reflected on all products –AIXM ingest and output –GIS repository ready for enterprise / web service publication and consumption Data management with GIS-based editing toolsData management with GIS-based editing tools Quality control via GIS-based spatial and non-spatial checksQuality control via GIS-based spatial and non-spatial checks Automated charting with database driven charting toolsAutomated charting with database driven charting tools End-to-end workflow management applicationEnd-to-end workflow management application 4
