13. Aeronautical Data Exchange from AGIS to AIXM Identifying Mapping Solutions for Data Integration
Talk to almost any Tech Ops field technician and they will tell you (if they can remember them all) the number of times they were on an airport surveying to install a new navaid and ran into other surveyors from NGS or working from the airport.
All of them collecting the same or very similar information, all trying to occupy the same control monument
But why?
Why were there numerous survey crews all doing different tasks on the same airport but collecting the same data?
It just didn’t make sense then, it doesn’t now. This is the genesis of the Airport Surveying/GIS Program
