Aeronautical Information Geospatial Service 01.00.00

Abstract

The service provides access to aeronautical geospatial entities and aerodrome mapping data through multiple interfaces, including REST-based Feature Service and OGC-compliant Web Map and Web Feature Services (WMS/WFS).

It enables system-to-system exchange of structured feature-level data and map representations, supporting interoperable integration in SWIM-compliant environments.

Users can:

  • Query and retrieve vector features representing aeronautical and infrastructure information from the underlying spatial database.

  • Request on-demand aerodrome maps generated from current or next AIRAC cycle aerodrome mapping data.

The service supports spatial and attribute-based filtering for features, and provides map visualizations according to operational requirements.

Interaction follows standard request–response patterns:

  1. Clients send HTTP requests to the appropriate service endpoint (REST, WMS, or WFS).

  2. The service processes the request and retrieves or generates the requested features or maps.

  3. Responses are returned as structured feature data (e.g., JSON, GeoJSON, GML) or map graphics, ensuring efficient and reliable access.

The service facilitates accurate, up-to-date, and interoperable access to aeronautical geospatial information and aerodrome maps, in line with the EUROCONTROL SWIM Technical Infrastructure (TI) Yellow Profile principles.
