Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service 01.00.00
Current JSON Original JSON

Abstract

The 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 service capability enables various use cases (e.g. Digital NOTAM overlay in ePIB applications). The Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service definition provides a common specification for the implementation of Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service instances that conform with EU Implementing Regulation 2021/116 - Common Project One. Note: In the context of European SWIM deployment the 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.

Point of Contact
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 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
Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request
The service shall offer 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 shall conform with the OGC Web Map Service 1.3.0 Interface Standard.

The EPSG:3857 coordinate reference system shall be used as a minimum 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 shall be 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 shall be according to the OGC Web Map Service 1.3.0 Interface Standard.

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

Note: The structuring and styling of the layers is a service design decision to be taken when implementing the service.

Note: The coordinate reference system and naming of the layers used in the service are subject to the requirements provided in this service definition.
The service provider shall ensure that the aeronautical data offered by the services is received from the appropriate authorised originating sources. This includes:
- AIRPORT_OPERATOR
Typical Behaviour

The service behaviour shall be in accordance with the Synchronous Request/Reply pattern detailed in Message Exchange Patterns: Identification Guidelines.

The OGC Web Map Service 1.3.0 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 aeronautical aerodrome map, the reply message, is sent from the service to the service consumer.
