4. WG3 meeting – SG related items
The CANSO AIMWG3 meeting made a significant effort to prepare contributions for the AIS-AIM SG2 meeting:
Development of a Glossary of Terms;
Follow-up activities to AIS-AIMSG/1 Actions Agreed ;
Transition from AIS to AIM - the ANSP´s perspective;
Break-out session.
The global voice of ATM

5. Development of a Glossary of Terms
Urgent need for a common understanding of definitions and processes;
It is important for the ANS Industry to speak “one language” and provide clarity to its stakeholders;
The expected deliverable is to develop a “Glossary”;
The final draft will be discussed and agreed at the AIMWG4 meeting in March 2010;
This CANSO “Glossary of AIM terms” can then be duly considered by the ICAO AIS-AIMSG.

7. Restructuring of Annex 15 and Future IAIP; Future service provision;
Break-out session
Restructuring of Annex 15 and Future IAIP;
Future service provision;
Future role of AIS providers and
System Wide Information Management (SWIM).
The global voice of ATM

8. New structure of Annex 15
Remaining sections - introduction, definition, general, quality management system, AIRAC;
AIS products (“the legacy“) - AIP, NOTAM, AIC… + eAIP;
AIM services (“the vision“) – TBD.
The global voice of ATM

9. Extended scope of Annex 15
Terrain Data;
Parameters required for environmental evaluations;
Capacity Relevant Information;
Additional inputs for a common operational picture; and
Fusion of AIM and MET data.
The global voice of ATM

10. SARPS - contents and format for AIM services
Raw data: Navigation, Airspace, aerodromes, eTOD, AMDBs;
Front end: to access / dislay raw data (e.g. based on a GIS);
Briefing;
Temporal considerations (link to Digital NOTAM).
The global voice of ATM

11. NOTAMS, ASHTAMS, SNOWTAMS …
All special-NOTAM format to be progressively withdrawn and replaced by Digital NOTAM;
The special-NOTAM format SARPs to be put in Guidance Material.
The global voice of ATM

12. AIS products vs. AIM services
Need to accommodate the various development status among the 190 ICAO States – an incremental approach;
Interim step: AIM services is an option;
When AIM services are provided, they take precedence over AIS products that can:
Either be derived from AIM services;
Or not be provided any more.
The global voice of ATM

13. Future service provision
User oriented – Users will need their own applications for further processing and/or display of customised data;
Standards for data centric environment:
Common format;
Interoperability;
System to system data exchange;
Increased responsibility of Data Providers;
Human factor – staff qualification;
Data Quality (accuracy, resolution, integrity).
The global voice of ATM

14. Future role of AIS providers
The role of AIS providers could be changed significantly;
New role of data originators
They could created raw data in digital form and transfer it directly to AIS;
Introduction of Digital NOTAM will change the role of NOTAM Offices
Update of static database in (real) time;
SLA´s with data providers/users;
Oversight and monitoring functions;
Training of data originators.
The global voice of ATM

15. Future development and implementation
Safety Management Systems (SMS) for AIS/AIM providers;
Workflow and Metadata management tools;
Common specifications of interfaces;
Service Level Management;
Data Quality Assurance tools and
Training/Qualification of data originators.
The global voice of ATM

16. SWIM Technically: as an Intranet interconnecting all actors in SWIM ;
Operationally:
The Data side approach - the specification of data items which different actors need and consequently derives the services from the data required;
The Service side approach - the services that need to be provided and derives data which need to be modelled.
The global voice of ATM

17. Conclusions
The various development status among the 190 ICAO States – the paper provides the views of ANSP´s on the future development;
Urgent need for a development of common definitions and processes and scope of AIS/AIM/IM in the SWIM content;
Information Management becomes a key enabler for the future ATM System. It does not mean physically taking over all information related functions by AIM;
The role of AIS providers will change significantly;
CANSO fully support the common incremental approach based on ICAO AIS-AIM Roadmap.
