PANSA Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service 1.0.0
Current JSON Original JSON

Abstract

PANSA Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service provides a capability for on-request aeronautical aerodrome maps that are generated from aerodrome mapping data. Note: Aerodrome mapping data are based on the ICAO Annex 15 notion of aerodrome mapping data and the related aerodrome mapping datasets. Aeronautical aerodrome maps are a graphical representation of aerodrome mapping data. The service generates aeronautical aerodrome maps from current or next AIRAC cycle aerodrome mapping data available in the service back-end. The service encodes the aeronautical aerodrome maps in a graphical format. The consumer of the service can specify in the aerodrome map request: - the individual aerodrome, - the aerodrome map layers to be included, and - the geographical area of interest. The provided aeronautical aerodrome map is used in visualisation contexts as a backdrop map. The capability to request airport layout features (i.e. aerodrome mapping data) is realized by the Aeronautical Information Request Service.

PANSA

PANSA is responsible for air traffic management and navigation services in Poland. The key activities of the organisation include airspace management and ensuring safe and efficient flow of air traffic. Every day, the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) takes care of the safety of passengers of about 2 500 aircraft moving over Poland, and coordinates thousands of drone flights out of nearly 1 million registered in the PansaUTM system. The airspace we supervise and control covers more than 334 000 square kilometers and is one of the largest in Europe. PANSA is the only institution in Poland that trains and employs civilian air traffic controllers.

Aerodrome Maps

There is a need for aeronautical aerodrome maps in support of integrated digital briefing applications (e.g. ePIB). Aerodrome maps can be used to ensure common situational awareness using them as backdrops in applications that display changes in the availability of the aerodrome infrastructure (e.g. Digital NOTAM overlay). Another example is the use of aerodrome maps in applications in support of aerodrome surface management.A list of aerodrome map related operational needs is available in Appendix C.The aeronautical aerodrome maps offered by the service satisfy the EU Implementing Regulation 2021/116 - Common Project One.Note: Aerodrome mapping data are based on the ICAO Annex 15 notion of aerodrome mapping data and the related aerodrome mapping datasets. Aeronautical aerodrome maps are a graphical representation of aerodrome mapping data.Note: In the context of European SWIM deployment the PANSA Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service capability realizes the SESAR Deployment Programme Aerodrome Mapping Service - Map part. The capability to request airport layout features (i.e. aerodrome mapping data) is realized by the Aeronautical Information Request Service.

Information

The service offers aeronautical aerodrome map layers based on a graphical representation (i.e. portrayal) of aerodrome mapping data (AMD).

Note: A map is the result of a request to portray information represented by one or more layers.

The service conforms with the OGC Web Map Service 1.3.0 Interface Standard. The EPSG:3857 coordinate reference system is used for the projection. If an aeronautical aerodrome map layer corresponds to one of the layers listed in Appendix B, the layer name in Appendix B is used to expose the capabilities of the service. If the service consumer requests a combination of layers exposed by the service, the generation of the aeronautical aerodrome map is according to the OGC Web Map Service 1.3.0 Interface Standard.

The layers are based on AIXM 5.1 AMD Features with geometry. Naming and grouping of the layers is defined according to the Appendix B.

Note: The GetCapabilities operation exposes the available layers, styles and coordinate reference systems.

Note: The coordinate reference system and naming of the layers used in the service are subject to the requirements provided in this service definition.

GetCapabilities

The GetCapabilities operation returns metadata about the operations, services, and data (“capabilities”) that are offered the WMS service.

GetFeatureInfo

The GetFeatureInfo operation returns the spatial and attribute data for the features at a given location on a map. It is similar to the WFS GetFeature operation, but less flexible in both input and output. The one advantage of GetFeatureInfo is that the request uses an (x,y) pixel value from a returned WMS image. This is easier to use for a client that is not able to perform true geographic referencing.

OGC Web Map Service

This International Standard specifies the behaviour of a service that produces spatially referenced maps dynamically from geographic information. It specifies operations to retrieve a description of the maps offered by a server to retrieve a map, and to query a server about features displayed on a map. This International Standard is applicable to pictorial renderings of maps in a graphical format; it is not applicable to retrieval of actual feature data or coverage data values.

WS Light

REST (Representational State Transfer) is a set of constraints for designing and developing web-based systems that are scalable, reliable, and loosely coupled. REST APIs use HTTP methods (such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to define actions that can be performed on resources. These methods align with CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, which are used to manipulate resources over the web.

XML

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language and file format for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing arbitrary data. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.
