The AIP Data Set coding guidelines are in PROPOSED status, based on the ICAO Proposal for Amendment to Annex 15 and PANS-AIM. A Released version is planned in the first part of 2018, after the final publication by ICAO of the 16th Edition of the Annex 15 and of the new PANS-AIM (DOC 10066). All eventual comments and suggestions made in the meantime will be considered for the final version, which might be different from the current proposal, both for the ICAO reference material and for the coding guidelines. EUROCONTROL intends to start a formal consultation process, with the objective to release a formal AIP Data Set - AIXM Coding Specification by the end of 2019. Although the exact content and structure of the intended Specification remains to be defined through further consultation with the stakeholders, it is likely that it will include only the mapping to PANS-AIM and the data set verification rules. Guidance on the coding of particular cases will probably continue to be provided through this collaboration area. |
