1. Aeronautical Data 2-Day Workshop Module: 1 Introduction strategic airspace November 2011

2. 2 Aeronautical Data  What is Aeronautical Data? – A representation of aeronautical facts, concepts or instructions in a formalized manner suitable for communication, interpretation or processing. Source: Annex 15  What does it comprise? What types of data?  Aerodrome Data  Feature Data – Obstacles & Terrain  Navigation Facility Data  Other Navigation Data (Calculated / Derived)  Operational Data for Information & Management of Inter-Agency Coordination & of Flight Operations  Critical, Essential & Routine Data  What’s different these days?

3. 3 Aeronautical Data – Changing Context  Impacts on Requirements for & Management of Aeronautical Data  In the office – computerisation  In the aircraft –  more fly-by-wire and more capable systems  RNP, PBN !  Increasing requirements for improved safety and global / regional harmony … and efficiency … and effectiveness  Increasing workload  More procedures, more obstacles, more airports, more airspace changes, more frequent updates, more operations  Better global knowledge about data management  Increased demands for data supply and interchange in electronic formats!  Ancillary Changes in Industry  Increasing separation of functions & introduction of more privatisation

4. 4 Aeronautical Data – Changing Context  Consequential Impacts  Changes to computerised systems – more complexity  Vastly increased skills – and change in range and level (breadth & depth) of SKAs to perform ‘same job’ SKAs = Skills, knowledge & attitudes  Greater reliance on digital data  And therefore, well defined and documented processes & methods for handling data (= need for Quality Assurance / Management System)  Essential for advanced procedures – PBN, GBAS, etc – and traffic management (PBN, transition towards 4D, etc)  Speed & nature of these change demands better and more frequent training (including recurrent)  Increasing transfer of data – intra- and inter-agency, and to/from external parties

5. 5 Aeronautical Data – Changing Context  Consequential Impacts continued…  Regulators need to understand more about the detail of some of these areas so that they are capable of ensuring that:  policy and regulations are appropriate (on an ongoing basis); and  the value of aeronautical data / information / products – which is owned by the State &/or important to the national interest – are:  maintained (&/or improved) to appropriate quality standards throughout the data production and supply and maintenance process; and  protected in the longer term so that they are both accessible and usable if/when required Examples:  Design / operation company does not continue previous service.  Data ‘owner’ wishes to charge unreasonable fees for data that is essential to safety  Accident investigations Learn lessons from other industries.

6. 6 Data Chain Evolving  Do these Data Chain models still apply?  Are they appropriate?  What are they missing?

7. 7 Data Chain Evolving  Annex 15 & RTCA DO200/201  Differences in application requirements for data

8. 8 Data Cycle & SWIM  Data cycle  Data maintenance  New & updated  How does it fit in this model?  How relevant is this model to your situation?  Systems Interactions  SWIM – System Wide Information Management  Future Applications
