Why changing?

Who we are? • Aeronautical Information Service (AIS)

• Transition of the aeronautical information service into a digital model

GIS Solution

• Centralized system based on GIS

� Geodatabase in a central location for easy access and management

� Different operations:

� Chart production

� Online maps

� Data processing

The Aeronautical Information Service provides aeronautical

information about the services, facilities, regulations and

procedures affecting air operations in the Spanish airspace in

order to assure security, regularity and efficiency

AIS is responsible for the information related to:

GIS Solution

The use of a GIS allows an optimal transition into a digital

model, providing an automated process that improves work

efficiency and quality while assuring data integrity throughout the

whole information process.

ArcGIS for Desktop enables the creation of a geodatabase that

stores all the information in a central location for easy access and

management.

System Description

management.

Additionally the PLTS Aero and PLTS Foundation functionalities

are used to add all the aeronautical information and spatial data,

and the Data Interoperability extension to import data from

different sources and formats into the geodatabase.

Data processingAerodrome Obstacle Charts

Aerodrome Obstacle Charts shall be made available for all

aerodromes regularly used by international civil aviation,

except for those aerodromes where there are no obstacles in

the take-off flight path areas.

Obstacles to be represented are calculated depending on their

elevation and relative position with other obstacles and the

take-off flight path area according to ICAO Annex 4 to the take-off flight path area according to ICAO Annex 4 to the

Convention on International Civil Aviation Aeronautical

Charts, 11th Edition July 2009.

Steps to calculate the obstacles to be represented:

• Load in the database all aerodrome obstacles

• Calculate the Take-off Flight Path Area according to Annex 4

• Calculate the obstacles to be represented according to Annex 4
