Pension Roland Bolliger

At the end of April, our long-standing employee Roland Bolliger took his well-deserved retirement. Roland Bolliger was an important pillar of our consulting activities during his almost 30 years at ITV Consult. He worked on the projects entrusted to him with passion, concentration and precision. High quality was not just a buzzword for him, he lived it.

We would like to thank Roland Bolliger for his many years of service and loyalty and wish him all the best for the future.

Differences between ICAO and EASA Aeronautical Data Catalogue

Differences between ICAO and EASA Aeronautical Data Catalogue

The ICAO Aeronautical Data Catalogue is defined in the ICAO Doc 10066 (PANS-AIM) Appendix 1. The EASA Aeronautical Data Catalogue is defined in the Regulation (EU) 2017/373 Annex III (Part-ATM/ANS.OR) Appendix 1 (subject to change as per EASA NPA 2023-08). The EASA Aeronautical Data Catalogue is based on the content of ICAO PANS-AIM Appendix 1.

Implementing automation and digitalisation in the aeronautical data chain

Since the Amendment 40 to ICAO Annex 15 in 2018 was introduced by ICAO the focus is on implementing automation and digitalisation in the aeronautical data chain to move from a product-centric AIS to a fully digital data-centric AIM environment. ICAO has made a big effort to update all material related to aeronautical data and information and provide improved support to all involved parties in the States to move ahead with this initiative.

ITV Consult has engaged from the beginning in supporting ICAO and involved parties to implement automation in the data chain by providing appropriate implementation support and training. ICAO now provides a full suite of material and training to support all parties in a State to move ahead with the implementation of automation.

Start small but think big to implement automation and digitalisation in your State. The updated ASBU EUR DAIM Tables allow States to determine their progress in implementing automation in their aeronautical data chain in line with the 7th Edition of the Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP). These tables are very useful for developing an appropriate action plan at State level for implementing automation and digitalisation in the aeronautical data chain. ITV Consult can support all involved parties in each phase of this transition based on hands on experience.

ICAO AIM Data Catalogue

ITV has established an online AIM Data Catalogue based on the ICAO PANS-AIM Appendix 1 to facilitate its usage by civil aviation authorities, air navigation service providers and data originators in the process to implement a fully data-centric AIM environment. Furthermore, we have included a mapping of the data elements to the current version of AIXM 5.1(1) which has been initially developed by EUROCONTROL and further maintained by the AIXM Community.
