meeting of its 177th Session on 20 March 2008,
agreed to the establishment of a study group in
order to assist the ICAO Secretariat to support
AIM related activities.

ICAO – AIS-AIM
Study Group
Objectives
• Global strategy/roadmap for the transition from AIS to AIM
• SARPs/Guidance for a standard AICM/AIXM to enable global digital data
exchange
• Other material required to support AIM impl.
Output:
• Roadmap
• Amdts Anx 4&15
• Doc 8126, Doc 8697
• Quality & Training manual

Participants*
• First meeting 2-4 December 2008
• ANSPs/CANSO, Eurocontrol , IATA/3 rd party data
providers, ICAO Secretariat, (IFALPA), Regulators
• 5 out 7 ICAO regions present
* Participants as experts not as organisation’s representative

What’s AIM
Dynamic, integrated management of aeronautical information
services – safely, economically and efficiently –through the
provision and exchange of quality assured digital aeronautical
data in collaboration with all parties
Note: The formal ICAO definition of AIM has not been agreed upon yet.
AIS
“to”
AIM
•Quality
•Timely
•Digital
•Secured
•Standardised
•Interoperable
•Shared
• AIS transformed to AIM
• AIM = Digital AIS

AIS to AIM Roadmap
AIS to AIM
1. Consolidation 2. Go Digital
- 2009
Enhance quality
of existing products
2009-11
Data-driven processes
for the production of
present products
3. Information
Management
2011-16
Transfer of information
in the form of
digital data
• Published on ICAO website

Phase 1: Consolidation
• P-03 AIRAC Adherence monitoring
• P-04 Monitoring Annexes 4,15 differences
• P-05 WGS84 Implementation
• P-17 Quality Management System
8

Phase 2: Go Digital!
• P-01 Data Integrity monitoring
• P-02 Data Quality monitoring
• P-06 Integrated aeronautical information Db
• P-07 Unique identifiers
• P-08 AICM
• P-11 Electronic AIP
• P-13 Terrain
• P-14 Obstacles
• P-15 Aerodrome mapping
9

Phase 3:
Information Management
• P-09 Aeronautical Data Exchange
• P-10 Communication networks
• P-12 Aeronautical Information Briefing
• P-16 Training
• P-18 Agreements Data Originators
• P-19 Interoperability with MET products
• P-20 Electronic Aeronautical charts
• P-21 Digital NOTAM
10

• Digital
Proposed Amendment 36 to Annex 15
Applicability date is November 2010
• Standard: Use of automation for digital data exchange
(AIXM is guidance)
• Recommendation: eAIP (eAIP spec. is guidance)
• Quality
• Standard: ISO9000 (certification a recommendation)
• Recommendation: QMS for whole data chain
• Data integrity preservation
• Standard: Metadata (name, fn performed, date/time)
• Recommendation: CRC32Q
• AIRAC scope, postponement consequences
• NOTAM Effective Date
• eTOD Area 1-4 mods (cost reductions !)
11

Amdt 36 - Guidance Material
• Updated
• AIS Manual/Doc 8126 (incl AIXM, eAIP, AIRAC,
OPADD, NSC)
• Chart Manual/Doc 8697
• New
• AIS Training Manual (incl CASP, Training Dev, )
• AIS Quality Manual (based on QM examples, SDP, )
• Notabene:
• AIXM Configuration Control
12

Proposed Amendment 37 to Annex 15
Applicability date is November 2013
• Restructured Annex 15 (data centric vs product centric)
• CHAIN (Standard Input forms, SLAs, Data Supply chain
management)
• Integrated Briefing (also in Anx 3/)
• Airport Mapping Database (also in Anx 4/14/...)
• Possible AIS/Meteo datalink impacts
•
• Guidance
• CHAIN
• Integrated Briefing
• Airport Mapping DataBase
• AIS Digital Services Manual
•
13

And then further
• 2013
• 2016
• Planned MET/AIM Divisional Meeting to agree
on new requirements for data exchange and
other SARPs to support the transition to AIM.
• Amd. 38 Annex 15 & Amd. 58 Annex 4 would
become applicable including the
recommendations of the divisional meeting;
14

Some final words
• So far the Study Group did not identify any legal or
institutional issues that would block the transition to
AIM.
• What will be important to establish are the minimum
regulatory requirements for data provision by States,
these requirements should be clearly distinguishable
from commercial value-added products or services.

Conclusions
• Move from AIS to AIM happening at
global level
• AIS to AIM roadmap a practical guide
• Global cooperation essential
