The Aeronautical Information Request Service allows the service consumer to get aeronautical information concerning the actual and future infrastructure to be used by air traffic such as aerodromes, airspaces, navigation aids and ATS routes. The exact information needed by the service consumer can be specified in the request e.g. based on feature name or the location of the feature. The information returned is in the form of an AIXM 5.1.1 message.

Air Traffic Management
Air traffic management is defined by ICAO as the "dynamic, integrated management of air traffic and airspace including air traffic services, airspace management and air traffic flow management - safely, economically and efficiently - through the provision of facilities and seamless services in collaboration with all parties and involving airborne and ground-based functions".Air traffic management needs high quality aeronautical data in order to operate. Data is required concerning the actual and future infrastructure to be used by air traffic such as aerodromes, airspaces, navigation aids and ATS routes. The aeronautical data is also used in systems such as those used for surface management at aerodromes.A list of operational needs that this service contributes to satisfying is available in Appendix C. This service satisfies these by offering aeronautical data as regulated by ICAO Annex 15 - Aeronautical Information Services.The scope of the aeronautical data satisfies the EU Implementing Regulation 2021/116 - Common Project One.

Aeronautical Features
The service provides high quality, up-to-date, trusted, regulated aeronautical data in digital form (features) for use in air traffic management systems and other systems. The data supports operational needs throughout the phases of flight (strategic, pre-tactical and tactical).
Request aeronautical data
The service consumer shall be able to request aeronautical information filtered by feature type and/or name.
The aeronautical data is received and can be used in ATM and other systems.
Enable advanced filtering of aeronautical data
The service consumer shall be able to request aeronautical information filtered according to spatial, temporal and logical operators.It shall be possible to specify the type of time slice (according to the AIXM 5 temporality model) to receive.
The aeronautical data is received and can be used in ATM and other systems.

Aeronautical Information Request Service
The service shall offer features defined in the Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) 5.1.1.
urn:aero:airm:1.0.0
The service shall offer the minimum list of features listed in Appendix B. The service may offer AIXM 5.1.1 features not listed in Appendix B. The service may offer features to be found in published AIXM 5.1.1. extensions that conform with the EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Information Definitions.
-
Typical BehaviourThe service behaviour shall be in accordance with the patterns detailed in the Message Exchange Patterns: Identification Guidelines. It allows for two implementations of the request-reply message exchange pattern: asynchronous and synchronous.The OGC Web Feature Service 2.0 Interface Standard shall be used for the basic behaviour.The typical behaviour is as follows:* Synchronous Request/Reply- The request message is sent from the service consumer to the service- The service consumer remains blocked while awaiting the reply- The service remains blocked while processing the reply- The AIXM Basic Message, the reply message, is sent from the service to the service consumer.* Asynchronous Request/Reply- The request message is sent from the service consumer to the service- The AIXM Basic Message, the reply message, is sent from the service to the service consumer.
