Data encoding rule

ER-01

The temporary limitation of a taxiway or portion thereof shall be encoded as:

  • a new Event with a 'BASELINE' TimeSlice (scenario='TWY.CLS', version='2.0'), for which a PERMDELTA TimeSlice may also be provided; and
  • a 'TEMPDELTA' TimeSlice for each affected Taxiway feature, for which the "event:theEvent" property points to the Event instance created above;
  • if present in the baseline data, a 'TEMPDELTA' TimeSlice for each affected TaxiwayElement feature, for which the "event:theEvent" property points to the Event instance created above;

Important Note: the application shall support the operator in order to automatically select the TaxiwayElements that are concerned with a graphical view, as indicated in the figure below. By default, intersections are supposed to remain unaffected, unless explicitly specified as closed.

ER-02

The textual description of the taxiway affected portion, if provided, shall be encoded as part of the Taxiway TEMPDELTA as availability.ManoeuvringAreaAvailability.annotation and purpose='DESCRIPTION'

  • E.g.  “intersection TWY A and TWY B”, "between RWY 08L/26R and TWY J", etc.
ER-03

First, all the BASELINE availability.ManoeuvringAreaAvailability (with operationalStatus='NORMAL'), if present, shall be copied in the Taxiway and TaxiwayElement (if applicable) 'TEMPDELTA'  (see Usage limitation and closure scenarios).

Then:

  • for each Taxiway TEMPDELTA coded and for each TaxiwayElement TEMPDELTA, an additional availability.ManoeuvringAreaAvailability element having shall be added having:
    • operationalStatus='LIMITED' if the taxiway usage is "conditional for", "closed, except for", "prohibited for";
    • operationalStatus='OTHER:EXTENDED' if the taxiway usage is "allowed for".
ER-0304

If the taxiway usage is "conditional for" specified operations, flight and/or aircraft categories, then all specified limitations shall be encoded as ManoeuvringAreaUsage child elements with type='CONDITIONAL'.

ER-0405

If the taxiway is "closed, except for" specified operations, flight and/or aircraft categories, then all specified limitations shall be encoded as ManoeuvringAreaUsage child elements with type='RESERV'.

ER-0506

If the taxiway usage is "prohibited for" specified operations, flight and/or aircraft categories, all specified limitations shall be encoded as ManoeuvringAreaUsage child elements with type='FORBID'.

ER-0607If the taxiway usage is "allowed for" specified operations, flight and/or aircraft categories, all specified limitations shall be encoded as ManoeuvringAreaUsage child elements with type='PERMIT'.
ER-0708

If a unique flight or aircraft is specified as part of the condition, they shall be encoded as one ConditionCombination with logicalOperator='NONE'.

Otherwise, each pair of flight and aircraft shall be encoded as one ConditionCombination with logicalOperator='AND'.

ER-0809

If PPR time is specified, the uom attribute shall also be specified.

ER-0910If the limitation concerns only a discrete schedule within the overall time period between the "start time" and the "end time", then this shall be encoded using as many as necessary timeInterval/Timesheet properties for the ManoeuvringAreaAvailability (with operationalStatus='LIMITED' or 'OTHER:EXTENDED') of all affected Taxiway and TaxiwayElement TEMPDELTA Timeslice(s). See the rules for Event Schedules. 
ER-1011

The system shall automatically identify the FIR where the AirportHeliport is located. This shall be coded as corresponding concernedAirspace property in the Event

ER-1112The AirportHeliport concerned by the closure shall also be coded as concernedAirportHeliport property in the Event.
