Aenas New Aeronautical Information Management System Implementation of

Aena’s New Aeronautical Information Management System: Implementation of an AIXM-based GIS Environment 1

Current environment at Aena • Legacy systems; difficult data flow to other systems (EAD, ATC system (SACTA), etc) • Manual data exchange prone to errors • Product centric, CAD-based environment – No centralized aeronautical data management – Difficult to automate…low productivity – Labor intensive update process – Edits made in multiple places (data, charts, etc) – Non-automated QC process 2

Scope of Project Revamp current system to a GIS-based approach to managing aeronautical data and products • Automate aeronautical information system • Manage central database • Automate charting – Approach / Departure Charts – Enroute Charts – Visual Charts • Production to start end of 2008; progressive production schedule 3

ESRI Technology Modernizing Aena’s operations • Centralized Geodatabase – Schema based on AICM 4. 5 – Single edits reflected on all products – AIXM ingest and output – GIS repository ready for enterprise / web service publication and consumption • Data management with GIS-based editing tools • Quality control via GIS-based spatial and non-spatial checks • Automated charting with database driven charting tools • End-to-end workflow management application 4

Technology Platform • PLTS Aeronautical Solution • Arc. GIS Desktop (Arc. Info) • Arc. GIS Server • Standard Relational DB (Oracle) PLTS Aeronautical Solution Arc. GIS Desktop • Other extensions: – 3 D Analyst – Data Interoperability Arc. GIS Server Geodatabase (Oracle) 5

Centralized Geodatabase • Data centric environment • Consolidates disparate data sources • Central database supports agency GIS • One touch edits • Centralized chart management 7

Data Management • Rich ingest capability – Data Interoperability Extension – Including AIXM 4. 5 • Export to AIXM (EAD) • GIS Graphical editing environment • Precise creation of navigational features with Feature Builder 8

Systemic Quality in AIS PLTS GIS Data Re. Viewer Feature Builder PLTS Condition Tables Topology Rules DB Domains / Ranges 9

Automated Charting • Database driven charting • Advanced symbology • Management of chart text • Review of chart updates 10

Managing workflows • Enterprise GIS workflow management solution • Toolset for… – Tracking the status and progress of work – Recording user activity – Standardizing, streamlining data management strategies • Centralized repository of job related information • Comprehensive transaction management infrastructure – Historical tracking of feature edits 11

Benefits to Aena • Data investment maximized • Efficiency gains – One touch edits reflected on all products • Less manual data entry – AIXM messages propagated to other systems (charting, EAD, SACTA, etc) • Standardized workflows • Opens the door for digital AIS • Improved QC 12
