7. Lead the way to implementation…
Support the implementation of AIM requirements (Annex 15, 16th edition and PANS-AIM, 1st edition):
Revise and/or enhance existing requirements (e.g. in response to State Letter 2017/22);
development of guidance material for AIM;
development of web-based guidance;
identification of specific training needs;
direct assistance to States to transition to AIM;
any other AIM implementation support, as required.

8. Look into the future…
Develop new aeronautical information management requirements. This task may encompass:
develop an information service as a replacement of the services provided by NOTAMs;
facilitate the migration of existing paper-based aeronautical charting products into the digital environment and identify requirements for the graphical representation of aeronautical information in a SWIM environment;
facilitate the provision of digital datasets through SWIM information services;
Any other requirements, as needed.

12. Global Implementation Support – IMP.006
Problem statement:
Non-effective implementations of ICAO SARPs and Procedures for the aeronautical information domain exist as of today; inefficiencies in the State`s provision of quality-assured aeronautical data and information may adversely affect the safety and efficiency of flight operations.
Action Plan:
Supporting implementation of Annex 15, PANS-AIM
QMS for AIM Manual – Q4 2019
Training for AIM Manual – Q4 2020
USOAP PQ – Q4 2020
PANS-AIM – Q4 2020
PANS-Training – Q4 2020
AIM Roadmap – Q4 2022
Implementation actions - From 2019 to 2021
Impact:
Global priorities: PBN, A-CDM, ATFM, SWIM
Measure implementation, for instance:
N. States Reg. Frameworks, N. States QMS
Measure actions, for instance:
N. ICAO AIS/AIM related workshops
Air Navigation Procedures for Aeronautical Information Management Seminar (PANS/AIM)

13. WGS-84 Implementation - IMP.007
Problem statement:
There is no evidence of a harmonized implementation of WGS-84 globally. The use of coordinates which are declared as WGS-84 but refer to a “WGS-84-alike” coordinate system can be a safety hazard.
Action Plan:
Supporting WGS-84 Implementation:
Gather info on actual status of implementation of WGS-84 - Q2 2019
Gather info concerning the need to update EGM-96 provisions in Annex 15 – Q1 2019
Annex 15, PANS-AIM – Q4 2020
WGS-84 manual – Q4 2021
Impact:
Implementation of PBN
Metrics:
Measure implementation, for instance:
N. of States compliant with WGS-84/EGM/96 (or new updated vertical reference system)
(Through Regional Surveys)

14. New AIM requirements
Air Navigation Procedures for Aeronautical Information Management Seminar (PANS/AIM)

15. NOTAM - IMP.008 Problem statement:
For pilots and flight planning units it is difficult to filter the NOTAM properly
The total number of NOTAM issued per year has increased by 2.4 times worldwide
Quality of NOTAM information is not always adequate
The filtering criteria are not sufficient to cope with modern operations (TBO).
Action Plan:
Looking into long-term solutions: develop a new concept for an Information Service (SWIM)
Gather info about NOTAM users requirements - Q2 2020
Develop an operational concept – Q2 2021
Annex 15, PANS-AIM and consequential amendments – PHASE 1 – Q4 2022
Annex 15, PANS-AIM and consequential amendments – PHASE 2 – Q4 2024
Associated guidance material – Q4 24/26
AIM Roadmap – Q4 2024
Implementation actions to 2028
Impact:
High impact on flight safety and efficiency
Global priorities: PBN, A-CDM, ATFM,SWIM
Metrics:
Reduction of N. of inquiries concerning NOTAM information
Air Navigation Procedures for Aeronautical Information Management Seminar (PANS/AIM)

16. Aeronautical Charts - IMP.009
Problem statement:
Annex 4 does not support a data-centric and digital environment, causes a high risk of proliferation of initiatives and may jeopardize the vision of a global interoperable ATM system for all users.
Action Plan:
Digitalization of Aeronautical Charts
Gather information about Aeronautical Charts users’ requirements - Q4 2020
Annex 4 and consequential amendments – PHASE 1 – Q4 2022
Associated guidance material – Q4 2024
Annex 4 and consequential amendments – PHASE 2 – Q4 2024
AIM Roadmap – Q4 2024
Implementation actions - From 2022 to 2028
Impact:
Global priorities: PBN, A-CDM, ATFM,SWIM
Metrics:
N. of State AIS providing digital data sets through an information service (SWIM)
Air Navigation Procedures for Aeronautical Information Management Seminar (PANS/AIM)

17. Digital Data sets - IMP.010 Problem statement:
States do not provide consistent or complete aeronautical digital data sets, resulting in a proliferation of different ways of providing aeronautical information with the risk of jeopardizing interoperability of exchanges.
Action Plan:
Address interoperability issues and define set of requirements for SWIM information services for aeronautical information

Process:
Selection of a candidate State
Data Collection (to perform a gap analysis with implementation)
Coordination with State and Go-Teams members
On-site visit
Follow-up
Key Performance indicators to evaluate the Go-Teams outcome
