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.

1 Jahr DCS (Data Collection Service)

After its successful launch on May 18^th 2022, the digital aeronautical data collection service - DCS (Data Collection Service) - celebrates its 1^st birthday!

During this period, approx. 2'500 applications (1'400 subject to authorisation, 1'100 subject to registration) were processed. The "customer base" comprises about 250 registered organisations and 1'200 registered users.

So far, the service has had no downtimes, which, with an average of 50 accesses per day, has had a very positive effect on the response from the "customer" and the user-friendliness.

The service and its further development will be implemented and continued by ITV Consult. 

30 Jahre ITV – 30 Jahre Erfahrung mit Geodaten

At the end September 2022 ITV celebrated its 30^th anniversary with a two-year delay due to the pandemic situation. We celebrated our jubilee in a special train composition of the Swiss Federal Railways, in the famous train composition «Churchill» known as the «Red Arrow» by the public. Despite the rainy weather board of management, management, employees and their partners enjoyed the ride passing by the famous Rhein Fall to Stein am Rhein and drawing admiration at every station we passed dining and drinking in our train composition «Churchill».

30 years can be considered an eternal period in the environment of (geographic) data, looking at the huge developments since ITV was founded. The digitalization of the geodata took off very slowly. 30 years ago, first mobile devices appeared, and video conferences were unthinkable. Our core business started with geodata in the area of transportation, focusing on ground transportation (railways) and then we expanded our business to the sky (aviation). After 30 years our core business is still geodata, in the area of transportation as well as other environmental domains.

The challenges in the area of geodata still remain the same after 30 years: create easy access to all the geodata required to create value in a data hungry society, to improve the communication between those collecting and managing geodata and those wanting to use such geodata to create added value for all areas of life. The demand for quality assured digital geodata in our world is continuously growing. In our society everyone is demanding to take informed decisions, be it at the private level or at the public level. All players in society are realizing that providing quality assured geodata requires various frameworks to be in place addressing the political, economic and societal conditions covering issues like sustainability, geo-policy or cybersecurity.

Daily ITV is experiencing how the importance of our business is growing in supporting our customers to permanently make their geodata available, quality assured and digital. Providing quality assured digital geodata is a big challenge for all areas of society. We support our customers with our 30 years of proven experience and expertise to make required geodata available, at the right time at the right place of use.

We are doing everything to support our customers to meet these expectations. On one hand we achieve this by developing the required frameworks to enable the provision of geodata and on the other hand we support our customers to make the required geodata accessible and available. This was our ambition in the past, it remains our ambition today and will remain our ambition in the future.

Data Collection Service (DCS)

A new era in aviation data collection is being launched. On May 18, 2022, the Data Collection Service (DCS) will go live!

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.
