FIXM Terminology & Technology
FICM: Flight Object Conceptual Model :
High level, implementation independent flight object concepts and the relationships between the concepts.
FIXM: Flight Object Logical Model :
Exchange model based on the information model
Implementation independent with more details for the concepts and relationships
Identifies relevant standards
FIXS: The Flight Object Schema :
Machine-generated implementation of the FIXM model and any associated data model standards
Level of the AIRM
Unified Modeling Language
(UML)
Level of the NSV-11b

A FIXM development schedule was agreed. FAA is pushing to comply with it.
SESAR members trying to agree on a common position.
Use Cases where FIXM should be used
Alignment FIXM – ED133
FIXM release schedule and contents
FIXM CCB has been recently accepted by ICAO.
Process that should lead the FIXM development
Way to cover stakeholders requirements
FIXM development at global level is not a smooth process yet.
