Tasks<br />
• Maintenance of the Centralised Airspace and Capacity Database<br />
(CACD formally know as ENV)<br />
The common aeronautical infrastructure database used primarily by<br />
the NM operational systems<br />
• Live updates (mainly in pre-tactical)<br />
• AIRAC-related updates<br />
• Pre-validations<br />
• On ANSP request for major changes to the ATS infrastructure<br />
• Production of the consolidated European Airspace Use Plan<br />
(EAUP/EUUP) through CADF<br />
The daily listing of Conditional Routes availability and activated<br />
Restricted Airspaces, based on information received from the national<br />
Airspace Management Cells (AMCs).<br />

e-AMI<br />
• e-AMI: electronic Airspace Management <strong>Information</strong><br />
• Similar to EAUP/EUUP, but in AIXM (<strong>Aeronautical</strong> <strong>Information</strong><br />
eXchange Model) format and in a Business to Business context.<br />
• Available for testing purposes since 04/2010<br />
• Used operationally by a number of Aircraft Operators and<br />
Computer Flight Plan Service Providers since 01/2011.<br />
27/02/2013 24
Conclusion<br />
• The accuracy and effectiveness of the NM operational systems<br />
depends to a large extent on the correctness of the data input in<br />
the CACD.<br />
• Pre-validation exercises enable anticipated checking of FPL<br />
processing and NM profiles prior to the operational<br />
implementation of major ATS infrastructure changes.<br />
• Each day the CADF in collaboration with the AMCs plays a<br />
significant pre-tactical role by promulgating validated route and<br />
airspace availability updates through the EAUP/EUUP.<br />
