AIS Automation 3 Paper based process (simplified) Manual data processing Legend Automated data processing Physical distribution AIP AIS Office AIP document users -Briefing Offices -VFR/IFR pilots -… - Read - Extract small amounts of data Data users - Commercial data providers - Large airline - CFMU Extract large amounts of data Charts ARINC 424 Flight manuals FMS Data Operational databases

AIS Automation 4 Background Problem AIS is (perceived as?) paper-based (archaic, incompatible with automated FMS and ATM, source of integrity errors, incoherence and distribution delays. Also, not environmentally friendly. The Challenge Transition to electronic media to provide harmonised/standardised, cost-effective, backwards compatible

AIS Automation 5 Status in Europe Source: Survey Sept Scope is ECAC.

AIS Automation 7 First approach:PDF Pdf image

AIS Automation 8 PDF: Advantages Easy to create (Word Processor/Scanner) Easy to distribute ( /CD-ROM/Web) --> Quicker to distribute Cheaper than paper Much appreciated by (certain/most) users

AIS Automation 9 PDF: Lessons learned Often no clearly stated legal status Users still need to print (--> environment !) Dead document: Users still need to re-type information CD-Rom distribution is as slow as paper distribution (Web) Security concerns Not adapted for on-line presentation (Portait vs Landscape) Increasing disharmonisation

AIS Automation 11 Another step forward Electronic AIP (eAIP) Based upon XML technology Fully ICAO compliant Independent of local systems (DBs, Word Processors)

AIS Automation 12 eAIP: Benefits AIS clients Increased accessibility of the IAIP information custom views query extract small amounts of data Eliminate distribution delays Uniformity in structure, content and presentation State AIS Avoid the risks and costs of isolated national developments Reduced costs Lifts the profile of AIS within organisation Industry Apparition of a new market
