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 â Map part. The capability to request airport layout features (i.e. aerodrome mapping data) is realized by the Aeronautical Information Request Service.
