AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items REPORT ON AGENDA ITEMS Agenda Item 1: Adoption of Agenda (WP01) 1.1

The provisional agenda was adopted by the meeting

Agenda Item 2: Review Outcomes of Related Meetings Asia/Pacific Meeting Outcomes Related to AIS-AIM (WP02) 2.1 The Secretariat presented information on meeting outcomes related to Aeronautical Information Services and Aeronautical Information Management in the Asia/Pacific Region from the following meetings: a)

The Twenty-Third Meeting of the Asia/Pacific Air Navigation Planning and Implementation Regional Group (APANPIRG/23);

b)

The Second and Third Meetings of the ICAO Asia/Pacific Seamless ATM Planning Group (APSAPG/2 and APSAPG/3);

c)

The 49th Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation, Asia and Pacific Regions; and

d)

The 6th Meeting of the 198th Session of the Council of ICAO.

2.2 The meeting was informed that APSAPG had been requested to study the proposed ASBU and provide advice on the benefits, business case and implications to States, and explore formulating a regional position on ASBU prior to the 12th Air Navigation Conference. The position statement formulated by APSAPG, and subsequently endorsed by APANPIRG, elevated the ASBU Element B0-30 Service Improvement through Digital Aeronautical Information Management to Priority 1 – Critical Upgrade. 2.3 Draft Seamless ATM principles and Preferred ATM Service Levels (PASL) had been updated to incorporate AIM considerations including 0support for Seamless ATM initiatives including AIM, and the early implementation of AIM including cooperative development of aeronautical databases and SWIM. 2.4 The meeting was further informed that several AIM-related Conclusions were agreed by APANPIRG/23, summarized as follows: 

the establishment of formal coordination to ensure AIS/AIM promulgation requirements were met;



the empowerment of AIS personnel to decline requests not complying with Annex 15;



the reporting of State AIS-AIM target completion dates;



the conducting of a Quality Assurance Seminar;



a request for ICAO review of Annex 11 provisions relating to duplicate 51

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items letter name codes; and 

the Asia/Pacific Position Statement on ASBU.

2.5 APSAPG/2 had noted that the AIS-AIM Transition Phase 2 target date of 14 November 2013 may not be achievable, and requested the Regional Office coordinate with the AAITF to consider aligning the Phase 2 implementation with the ASBU timeline. The meeting had agreed that the AIM elements needed to have the right priority, especially as AIM implementation was necessary to support PBN. 2.6 The latest draft version of the Asia/Pacific Seamless ATM Plan (V0.8) had been considered by APSAPG/3, including Preferred ATM Service Level (PASL) references to AIM: 

PASL Phase 1, expected to be implemented by 12 November 2015, includes “ATM systems should be supported by digitally-based AIM systems through implementation of Phase 1 and 2 of the AIS-AIM Roadmap (ASBU Priority1)”



PASL Phase II, expected implementation by 9 November 2018, includes “ATM systems should be supported by complete implementation of AIM Phase 3”.

2.7 The 49th DGCA Conference had been briefed on the importance of the AIS – AIM transition, and noted there was a large gap in implementation between the States in the Asia/Pacific Region. The Conference was further briefed on the need for regional implementation of AIM, and the importance of adhering to AIRAC cycles. The Conference had agreed to Action Item 49/6, urging Administrations to ensure compliance with AIRAC dates, recognizing the importance of harmonization, and to develop and submit a basic AIM transition plan to the Asia/Pacific Regional Office. 2.8 The 6th Meeting of the 198th Session of the Council of ICAO had adopted Amendment 37 to Annex 15, effective 14 November 2013 and incorporating all Phase 2 AIS – AIM Roadmap transition steps. Amendment 57 to Annex 4 had also been adopted. Annex 15 Amendment 37 and Future Changes (IP02) 2.9 The Secretariat provided information to the meeting on the recently adopted Amendment 37 to Annex 15, and future ICAO document changes supporting the transition of AIS to AIM. The information included previous work by the global AIS – AIM Study Group (AIS-AIMSG) including the Roadmap for the Transition of AIS to AIM and Amendment 36 to Annex 15. 2.10 More detailed information was provided on the work done to develop a strategy to move Annex 15 to an AIM operational focus, including redeveloping Annex 15 in 2 phases across 2 amendments, developing a PANS-AIM, reworking Doc 8126, and thoroughly reviewing the functions and intended outcomes of AIM service delivery and revisiting the operational requirement for Annex 15 elements. Accordingly, Amendment 37 had been developed, restructuring the first 3 chapters. 2.11 Further work required on Annex 15 included further study on 32-bit cyclic redundancy check requirements, changes to the description of AIS organizations’ areas of responsibility, resolution of discrepancies between obstacles described in Annex 4 and the eTOD requirements of Annex 15. 2.12 Amendment 38 was being planned by AIS-AIMSG, focused on developing 3 new chapters 4, 5 and 6 dealing with Aeronautical data information scope and collection, temporality and 2

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items distribution, and information services. These new chapters would replace current chapters 4 – 11, and the existing material in those chapters would be reviewed and either retained, relocated or deleted. 2.13 Concurrent with the Amendment 38 development activity, a new PANS-AIM document would be developed, assembled in part from material identified for relocation from Annex 15. 2.14 The meeting was informed that with the implementation of the future Amendment 38 the total revision and restructure of Annex 15 would be complete. The emphasis would be on performance oriented SARPS outlining the role, scope and functions of aeronautical information services from a digitally-enabled, network-centred and service-oriented information management perspective. A new PANS-AIM would focus on procedures and practices, and revisions to Doc 8126 would focus on the development of an AIS organization from an AIM perspective, and contain guidance on meeting the requirements of the SARPS and PANS. ICAO AIS-AIMSG Progress (IP03) 2.15 Australia provided extensive information on the results of the 7th Meeting of the ICAO Aeronautical Information Services – Aeronautical Information Management Study Group (AISAIMSG/7, Montreal, Canada, 14 to 18 January 2013). The full AIS-AIMSG/7 Summary of Discussions, supporting study notes, information papers and presentations were available on the AISAIMSG web page for meetings at http://www.icao.int/safety/ais-aimsg/Lists/Meetings/AllItems.aspx. 2.16 The information provided to the meeting included a summary of the results of AISAIMSG/7, and added comments concerning the follow-on activities of the Ad-hoc groups on AIM development and aeronautical charting.

2.18 The next Ad-Hoc Group meeting on AIM Development on Aeronautical Charting would be held from 1 to 5 July 2013 in Meersburg, Germany. AIS-AIMSG/8 would be held from 4 to 8 November 2013 in Montréal, Canada 2.19 A specific issue requiring group input was identified concerning language on sample charts. It was offered to the group that providing the example charts in the chart manual in other languages was potentially very difficult from a production perspective. The Secretariat suggested that the sample charts be promulgated in English only. Before proceeding with this decision, the Secretariat needed feedback from States and also requests the AIS-AIMSG members make their views known. The AAITF/8 Chair proposed that if any States had any comment on this issue is should be reported to AIS-AIMSG through the ICAO Regional Office. Agenda Item 3: Review of Air Navigation Deficiencies in the AIS Field Asia/Pacific AIS-AIM Air Navigation Deficiencies (WP03) 3.1 The Secretariat provided an update on AIS-AIM related Air Navigation Deficiencies in the Asia/Pacific Region. 3.2

There were two deficiencies identified:  

3.3

WGS-84 not implemented (4 States); and AIP Format – not implemented (4 States)

Since AAITF/7 the following deficiencies had been removed from the list: 

WGS-84 not implemented:  DPR Korea; and  Solomon Islands

3.4 The meeting discussed the fact that the deficiency list did not reflect the Region’s performance in implementation of Phase 1 of the AIS – AIM Roadmap. The Phase 1 Steps became effective on 18 November 2010, in line with the effective date of Amendment 36 to Annex 15. Many States, reporting in accordance with APANPIRG Conclusion 22/2, have not completed all Phase 1 steps. Many States have failed to report AIM implementation progress at all. 3.5 The meeting agreed that the AIS-AIM related deficiencies list should be updated to record deficiencies where States have reported that they have not yet completed the Phase 1 Steps, or where they have failed to provide any reports of progress. 3.6 The list of proposed AIS-AIM related deficiencies as agreed by the meeting is appended to this report at Appendix C. 3.7 The meeting further discussed the potential deficiencies which would arise after Amendment 37 to Annex 15 comes into effect on 14 November 2013, including the AIS-AIM Transition Phase 2 Steps. The meeting agreed that this needed to be brought to the attention of APANPIRG. The list of anticipated AIS/AIM related deficiencies is appended to this report at Appendix D. 4

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items Agenda Item 4: AIS-AIM Updates AIM Implementation in Hong Kong, China (IP04) 4.1

Hong Kong, China provided information on the status of AIM implementation.

4.2 In 2009 Hong Kong, China had launched the ATM Systems Replacement Project, incorporating a new AIM system (AIMS). Although AIM was a new concept in Asia/Pacific at that time, essential information and useful guidelines had been acquired through participation in the Global AIS/AIM Congress, ICAO AAITF meetings and Global AIM Consortium events. 4.3 The Hong Kong, China AIMS had reached the stage of static data migration. ISO 9001 certification had been obtained in 2008, and AIS operations had been found satisfactory in the 2009 ICAO Universal Safety Oversight Audit (USOAP) of Hong Kong, China. 4.4 Hong Kong, China had completed Phase 1 of the AIS-AIM transition roadmap. In preparation for Phase 2 a new system based on AIM was procured to replace the existing AIS automated system. In preparation of the new system specification e-AIP, integrated briefing, aeronautical charting and flight procedure design capability had been included. 4.5 The importance and challenge of ensuring integrity and accuracy of AIM data during data migration to the new system had been recognized. The tentative date for data migration to be completed was June 2013, followed by data verification activities. The new AIM Centre, located in the new Air Traffic Control Building completed in 2012, was scheduled to commence operational use in mid-2014. CAAC Electronic AIP (eAIP) by the End Of 2013 (IP05) 4.6

China provided an overview of progress in the provision of eAIP by the end of 2013.

4.7 Recognizing that AIP data was critical to the safety and efficiency of flight, China noted that there were some deficiencies in the submission, approval and maintenance of domestic aerodrome raw data. As there was a lack of more effective ways to examine and verify the data, this work was being performed manually, resulting in reduced efficiency and increased difficulty in correcting errors and omissions. 4.8 The eAIP system had been under development since the end of 2012. The system would fulfill the functions of aerodrome raw data submission, editing, checking, updating and publishing data for all international airports and completing the tasks of automatic Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) production. 4.9 Information was provided on eAIP system deployment, eAIP database management, editing and proofreading, automatic retrieval of data according to the AIRAC cycle for automatic AIP document publishing, data version management, submission and update, eAIP distribution, data query function and user management. 4.10 By the end of 2013 the database organization and management of AIP AD2 would be achieved, with the remaining parts achieved by the end of 2014. 4.11 China confirmed to the meeting that eAIP in HTML format would be distributed both by internet access and CD-ROM.

5

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items Indonesia AIS – AIM Implementation Progress (IP06) 4.12 A brief overview of AIS – AIM implementation progress was provided by Indonesia. Following up on the activities reported in IP07 to AAITF/06, Indonesia would continue in their efforts to: 

publish AIP on CD-ROM and on the internet;



improve quality management measures;



adhere to AIRAC cycles;



monitor and publish differences to Annexes 4 and 15



reach agreements between data originators including the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Agency (MCGA) and the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Centre (CVMGD);



establish an aeronautical information conceptual model



establish an integrated aeronautical information database; and



implement integrated pre-flight information NOTAM, MET, ATFM and FPL elements by December 2013.

4.13 Indonesia further informed the meeting that air navigation services previously provided by the PT. Angkasa Pura I, PT Angkasa Pura II and DGCA been restructured, and were now provided by the new single ANSP, AIR NAV Indonesia. Electronic AIP Implementation in the Asia/Pacific Region (WP04) 4.14 The Secretariat presented an analysis of the current implementation status of electronic AIP (eAIP) in the Asia/Pacific Region, and discussed the availability and distribution of State AIP. 4.15 The meeting was reminded that implementation of eAIP was Step P-11 of the AISAIM Transition Roadmap, and was due to be completed by 14 November 2013, to coincide with the effective date of Amendment 37 to Annex 15. 4.16 Asia/Pacific States had provided information on the status of eAIP implementation to ICAO Regional Office. Hyperlinks were provided by States reporting that eAIP had been implemented. 4.17 During the months of March and April 2013 the Regional Office had conducted an analysis of the eAIP of those States having previously reported eAIP availability. Table 1 summarizes the results of the analysis.

States 3 1 6 1

4.18 The analysis indicated that, of the 22 States reporting eAIP availability, only 15 were accessible on the internet, including 2 which required user registration and login. Of the 15 accessible eAIP, 1 did not comply with Annex 15 requirements for AIP structure and content, and 9 did not provide one or more of the elements AIP SUP, AIC or NOTAM. As Annex 15 required that aeronautical information shall be published as an Integrated Package including these elements, the analysis indicated that only 6 of the 22 reported eAIP were compliant with Annex 15. 4.19 During the analysis an internet search was conducted, revealing a further 5 eAIP that appear to be operational, but of which Regional Office has not been advised. 4.20 The meeting discussed internet accessibility of eAIP, and whether there was a need for registration or logon, rather than open access. Japan advised the meeting that their internet eAIP required registration and logon to permit their continued monitoring and analysis of eAIP usage, and that their registration process was automatic, and responded to applications within a few minutes. The meeting also discussed the practice of including disclaimers in online eAIP which stated that the paper copy was the only authoritative version. 4.21

The meeting agreed to the following draft Conclusion: AAITF Draft Conclusion 8/1: Electronic AIP That, considering that Electronic AIP (eAIP) is part of Phase 2 of the AIS-AIM Transition Roadmap, due for completion by 14 November 2013 to coincide with the publication of Amendment 37 to Annex 15, and that few Asia/Pacific States’ internetaccessible eAIP as reported to ICAO Regional Office comply with the Annex 15 requirements for Integrated Aeronautical Information Packages, States are urged to: i. ii.

implement internet-accessible electronic AIP (eAIP) as soon as possible; ensure the eAIP has the unconditional authority of the State, without disclaimers referring to a separately published paper product;

7

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items iii.

iv. v. vi.

permit open access to the eAIP either without the need for registration or, if registration is required, access to eAIP is automatically and immediately available; provide the facility to register for an update/amendment notification service; ensure the eAIP complies with Annex 15 requirements for content and structure; and report eAIP implementation and its internet hyperlink to the ICAO Asia/Pacific Regional Office.

4.22 ICAO Document 7383 specified the requirements for distribution of copies of AIP, AIP SUP and AIC to ICAO Headquarters and Regional Offices. The distribution of this information incurred costs to States, required State and ICAO staff resources to manage, was prone to handling errors, and did not support ICAO’s strategic objective of environmental protection and the sustainable development of air transport. Once States had transitioned to an Annex 15-compliant, internetaccessible eAIP there should be no need for further distribution of paper or even CD copies of AIP, AIP SUP, AIC and NOTAM checklists to ICAO Regional Office. AAITF/7 had noted that the Regional Office no longer required the submission of paper amendments if transition Step P-11 had been implemented, but they continued to be received from States that had reported implementing eAIP. Direct requests by Regional Office that States discontinue this practice had been disregarded, indicating the need for a more formal approach. 4.23

The meeting agreed to the following draft Conclusion: AAITF Draft Conclusion 8/2: Distribution of Paper Copies of AIP to ICAO Asia/Pacific Regional Office. That, States having implemented internet-accessible eAIP shall, on receipt of advice from the ICAO Asia/Pacific Regional Office, discontinue the forwarding of paper or CD copies of AIP, AIP SUP, AIC and NOTAM Checklists to the Regional Office.

4.24 To support this proposal the Regional Office had formulated a procedure to check the accessibility, Annex 15-compliance, and Integrated Aeronautical Information Package elements of State reported eAIP, to be followed-up by advice to the State to discontinue sending paper copies. AIS to AIM in Viet Nam (WP11) 4.25 Viet Nam presented information on their transition from AIS to AIM, and discussed deficiencies that they faced and that should be shared by other States. 4.26 An ICAO AIM implementation survey had been conducted in 2011, but no survey had been conducted during 2012. Such a survey would have required a large amount of work for little tangible feedback, given that not all States had responded and some of the information was now out of date. The only available overview of transition progress was the “State AIS AIM Transition Table”, available on the ICAO Regional Office Website and last updated on 4 April 2013. 4.27 Many States indicated progress in individual AIS – AIM implementation steps by reporting a percentage completion, but this made it quite difficult for other States to assess their progress. 4.28 Viet Nam proposed that a common website address should be established by ICAO, with each country having access to provide detailed and updated information on their own progress, and allowing the sharing of experience in already implemented steps or the plans for future implementation. It would be particularly valuable for those countries that have transitioned quickly to 8

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items share their guidelines and plans with other countries. 4.29 It appeared clear from the State AIS AIM Transition Table that progress was different between States, and significantly different than the AIS – AIM Roadmap, in which Phase 1 was intended to be completed by November 2010, Phase 2 by November 2013 and Phase 3 by November 2016. 4.30 While many States including Viet Nam would like to implement in accordance with the Roadmap, there was difficulty in implementation. With the installation of an automated AIS system Viet Nam was making progress, but only partially completing some steps of each phase. There were no detailed criteria for each step’s completion, leading to difficulty for States in evaluating their own progress. 4.31 Viet Nam suggested that more ICAO seminars should be provided on each step of the roadmap, such as an AICM/AIXM seminar. The AIM Quality Assurance Seminar had been very helpful in making the transition picture clearer to Asia/Pacific States. 4.32 The Secretariat advised that States had been required under APANPIRG Conclusion 22/2 to provide progress updates to ICAO Regional Office, and that these updates were used to update the Transition Table. The meeting was further advised that while it was impractical to conduct seminars or training for each of the AIM Transition Steps, assistance may be available through the ICAO Technical Cooperation Bureau (TCB), and States may consider contacting ICAO to explore this option. 4.33 The Secretariat undertook to examine what opportunities or resources may be available for seminars or workshops to address the difficulty States were having in gaining knowledge of the AIM Transition Steps and determining how to implement them. 4.34 The meeting had earlier discussed the need for, and benefits of, providing a website for States to share their knowledge and experience in AIM implementation. Mongolia agreed to host an informal website for this purpose, and asked States to provide necessary information. The meeting agreed that it was important to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience among the AIM community. Regional AIS – AIM Implementation Plan (WP05) 4.35 Plans.

The Secretariat presented the status of the Asia/Pacific States’ AIS – AIM Transition

4.36 It was noted that Phase 1 was intended to be complete by November 2010, Phase 2 by November 2013 and Phase 3 November 2016. Only 10 administrations had achieved the four Phase 1 elements, and only 4 (India, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore) had indicated implementation of Phase 1 plus more than half of the Phase 2 elements, including P-11 - Electronic AIP. Given the slow progress of implementation in many States thus far, it was suggested that the Task Force place a much greater emphasis on individual State planning to achieve AIM transition as soon as practicable. APANPIRG had agreed to the following Conclusion: Conclusion 23/9 ‒

AIS-AIM Transition State Plans

That, States should develop a basic plan that identified the target completion dates of Transitional elements in the AIS-AIM Roadmap and submit these plans to the Asia/Pacific Regional Office by 1 January 2013.

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items 4.37 State Letter AP135-12 was subsequently promulgated, with an attached template for use as a basic plan. 16 Administrations responded to the State Letter. 4.38 Phase 1 was due for completion by November 2010. Responses to the State Letter indicated that 9 of the 16 respondent States have completed this phase. Of the remaining 7 States, 1 plans completion by the end of 2013, 4 by the end of 2014, 1 in 2016, and 1 in 2018. 4.39 No respondent State plans to complete Phase 2 on schedule. Among the 16 respondent States the following numbers of the 9 Phase 2 – Going Digital elements are either completed, or planned to be implemented on schedule by November 2013: 

7/9 Elements

1 State;



6/9 Elements

4.40 Clearly the Asia/Pacific Region was generally well behind schedule in the implementation of the AIS-AIM Roadmap steps. Taking the overall Regional view, and based on current scheduling reported by the 16 respondent States, when Annex 15 Amendment 37 comes into effect: 

Phase 1 AIM Transition will be 86% completed;



Phase 2 AIM Transition will be 63% completed



Phases 1 & 2 Transition will be 56% completed.

4.41 The 4 Phase 1 Transition Steps are now standards, defined in Annex 15. States which had not implemented all of these Steps were not compliant with SARPS. 4.42 With the exception of certain Area 2 Obstacle standards, the Phase 2 steps would be effective on 14 November 2013. States that have not implemented the required transition steps for Phases 1 and 2 by that date would not be compliant with SARPS. 4.43 The draft Asia/Pacific Region Seamless ATM Plan had the objective of facilitating Seamless ATM operations by developing and deploying ATM solutions capable of ensuring safety and efficiency of air transport operations. The Seamless ATM Plan recognized the criticality of aeronautical information in the Seamless ATM Principles, and in the Preferred ATM Service Levels (PASL), which would be delivered in 2 phases, expected to be implemented by 12 November 2015 and 9 November 2018 respectively. 4.44 The Chair and Secretariat advised the meeting that it was not appropriate to propose a Regional implementation Plan with scheduled implementation dates, as implementation dates were 10

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items driven by the effective dates of the applicable Annex 15 amendments. Instead, order-of-priority to give some direction to States was proposed. The meeting discussed the proposed order-of-priority at length, and decided that it also would not be useful as the existing sequence of implementation already determined by APANPIRG provided a logical sequence of implementation Steps. It was further noted that States would adjust their implementation sequence according to their own local operating environment and project management processes. 4.45 In attempting to find a way to improve progress, the meeting discussed the appearance that lack of specific knowledge of what was required to implement each of the Transition Steps had largely halted progress in many States. There was clearly a need for guidance material on this subject. Accordingly, the following Decision was made by the meeting: AAITF Decision 8/1: Small Working Group to Formulate Guidance Material on Steps of the AIS – AIM Transition Phases. That a Small Working Group comprising Australia, Hong Kong China, Japan, Singapore and the Secretariat be established to develop guidance material for Asia/Pacific Region on the requirements for completion of AIS – AIM transition Steps. 4.46 The Small Working Group would coordinate by email to develop guidance material for inclusion in the Guidance Manual for Aeronautical Information Services in the Asia/Pacific Region. The Guidance Manual is available on the ICAO Regional Office Website at: http://www.icao.int/APAC/Documents/edocs/AIS_GM.pdf Agenda Item 5: Any Other Business Survey of Differences between State’s NOTAM Operations and OPADD (WP06) 5.1 Japan presented information proposing the Task Force conducts a survey to clarify differences between States’ NOTAM operations and the descriptions in the Asia/Pacific Operating Procedures for AIS Dynamic Data (OPADD) to leverage improvement of NOTAM Office (NOF) operations in the Asia/Pacific Region. OPADD edition 3.0 was included in Chapter 3 of Guidance Manual for Aeronautical Information Services in the Asia/Pacific Region. 5.2 It was essential to facilitate the global harmonization of NOTAM operation. To achieve this, firstly the differences of the NOTAM operations among NOFs and compared to the Asia/Pacific OPADD should be comprehended and resolved. This activity would improve the quality and standardization of NOTAMs in the Asia/Pacific Region, and permit discussion of OPADD amendment with other regions. 5.3 Japan proposed that an OPADD survey questionnaire be sent to States, and returned by the ICAO Regional Office by December 2013. The Regional Office would forward received responses to Japan for compilation, then review, correction and addition by the States. Japan would submit the final result to AAITF/9 for discussion. 5.4

The meeting agreed to the following Draft Conclusion: AAITF Draft Conclusion 8/3: Survey of Differences between States NOTAM Operations and Chapter 3 of the Guidance Manual for AIS in the Asia/Pacific Region - OPADD Edition 3.0 That, recognizing the potential for inconsistencies in NOTAM format within the Asia 11

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items Pacific Region, States should complete the OPADD Survey attached at Appendix E of this report, and forward the completed survey to the ICAO Asia/Pacific Office by 31 December 2013. ICARD Update (WP07) 5.5 The Secretariat provided an update the ICAO International Codes and Route Designators application (ICARD), and participation by Asia/Pacific States. 5.6 The ICARD internet application on the EUROCONTROL website was developed to support the allocation of five-letter name-codes (5LNC) used for the identification of significant points for ATS routes and designators for ATS routes. The application was now available for all ICAO States, and was the global repository and source of 5LNC. The ATS route designator function was only available within EUR Region.

5.7 ICARD was the sole global source of unique, pronounceable 5LNC marking significant points (i.e. ATS route waypoints) not associated with a radio-navigation aid. The purpose of ICARD is to ensure that the global allocation of 5LNC complies with the Annex 11 requirements for unique, pronounceable 5-letter name codes. 5.8 ICARD_5LNC_PLANNERs are State-nominated individuals responsible for sourcing waypoints for each state from the blocks of codes allocated in ICARD to the State by the ICARD_5LNC_MANAGER, normally the ICAO Regional Officer ATM. Each State should nominate two persons to register as ICARD_5LNC_PLANNERs. 11 States had no ICARD_5LNC_PLANNER registered, and 15 States had only 1 registered. Participants were invited to ensure their State had 2 ICARD_5LNC_PLANNERS registered. 5.9 The meeting was provided with instructions for the registration process, and advised that further guidelines for the use of ICARD were available on the 5LNC web-page, which was fully accessible after the registration process had been completed. 5.10 The meeting was further informed of the importance of correctly conducting proximity checks on each proposed new waypoint. While States should exercise their own judgement in this issue, the ICARD_5LNC_MANAGER would sample submitted 5LNC requests to ensure the proximity checks were done. Any requested 5LNC failing the proximity check would be rejected, resulting in further work by the State in selecting a new code. Proposed waypoints without coordinates would also be rejected. 5.11

The meeting was briefed on the global effort to eliminate duplicated 5LNC. Submission of BANP Amendment Proposals for ATS Routes (WP08)

5.12 The meeting was provided with guidance on the submission of ATS route proposals for inclusion in the Asia/Pacific Basic Air Navigation Plan (Doc 9673). 5.13 The Air Navigation Plan – Asia and Pacific Regions (Doc 9673), Volume I, Basic ANP (BANP) contains ATS route requirements which were developed by the Third Asia and Pacific Regional Air Navigation Meeting (Bangkok, May 1993). The requirements have been revised from time to time to reflect current operational needs. There is an on-going need to revise and update these requirements and amend the BANP. 5.14 To facilitate the amendment process and keep track of route implementation and future requirements, and with the objective of providing more up to date information on route developments, 12

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items the Asia/Pacific ATS Route Catalogue was prepared as a supplement to the BANP. The Route Catalogue is intended to be a living document supplementing the BANP and to be maintained by ICAO Asia and Pacific Office. 5.15 APANPIRG/23 noted that proposals for amendments and additions to ATS routes in the BANP were often received without accurate data and appropriate supporting information, including whether the proposal had been coordinated with other affected FIRs. Consequently, APANPIRG had agreed to the following Conclusion: Conclusion 23/6 – Basic Air Navigation Plan Amendment Procedure Template That, for ease of reference and reduction of submission errors, the ICAO Regional Office should provide the Doc 9673 Amendment Procedure appended as Appendix E to the Report on Agenda Item 3.2 on the Asia/Pacific website, including requirements to provide detailed and accurate information, an appropriate chart in the case of ATS route amendments, and information on prior consultation with any affected States. 5.16 While the amendment procedure provided on the Regional Office website had improved the submission of BANP Proposals for Amendment (PfA), there remained a number of issues involving the standardization of information provided which had led to delays in BANP Amendment approvals process. 5.17 As further guidance appeared necessary, an updated amendment procedure including further guidance material for the submission of BANP ATS route amendment proposals was presented to the meeting. The meeting discussed some minor editorial changes to the proposed guidance material, and subsequently agreed to the following draft Conclusion: AAITF Draft Conclusion 8/4 – Basic Air Navigation Plan Amendment Procedure and Guidance for Submission of ATS Route Amendments That, to further improve the quality and processing time of proposals to amend ATS route information in the Basic Air Navigation Plan, the Doc 9673 Amendment Procedure provided on the Asia/Pacific website should be replaced with the Amendment Procedure and Guidance for Submission of ATS Route Amendments appended as Appendix F to this report. Timeliness of AIP Amendment Promulgation (WP09) 5.18 The Secretariat presented information discussing the continuing problem of significant AIP changes being promulgated with unacceptable lead times before becoming effective, and without appropriate quality control of accuracy. AAITF/7 had discussed the critical importance of the accuracy and timeliness of information used in automated databases for day to day aviation operations, including Charting, Weather, Air Navigation Service Provider and NOTAM, and the imperative to ensure that any operational changes affecting the wider aviation community that require the updating of databases are communicated well in advance of the change taking effect, in accordance with the promulgation requirements set down in Annex 15. In considering the AAITF discussion of this issue, APANPIRG had adopted the following Conclusion: Conclusion 23/8 ‒

Annex 15 Promulgation Requirements Compliance

That, States should be urged to recognise the importance of Annex 15 compliance in respect of aeronautical data affected by major projects, by:

13

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items a)

establishing formal coordination between change originators and Aeronautical Information Service (AIS) units to ensure appropriate planning and that promulgation requirements were taken into account; and

b)

creating a mechanism to allow AIS personnel to decline requests that did not comply with Annex 15, except for urgent corrections, emergencies, and matters of national security.

5.19 Instances of non-compliance with accuracy and advance notification requirements continued to occur in the Asia/Pacific Region. Noteworthy recent examples included: 

Publication of an AIP SUP notifying route changes, with a waypoint position error of 2 degrees of longitude;



Promulgation of an AIP SUP notifying airspace, route and procedure changes associated with a major military exercise only 1 day before its effective date.

5.20 Clearly there were a number of States not complying with the APANPIRG Conclusion. The two most likely causes are:

i. States have failed to establish coordination processes ensuring that change originators such as ATM operational authorities and project managers and planners provide the required notification; and ii. Military authorities have either not been engaged or are unwilling to engage, and therefore have failed to understand that their actions are causing their State to fail to comply with their international safety obligations under the Convention. Note: Military training exercises cannot be considered as emergencies or matters of national security mentioned in APANPIRG Conclusion 23/8. 5.21 The meeting was advised that State AIS/AIM organizations should ensure that the critical aviation safety-related nature of this issue and the potential damage to a State’s aviation reputation caused by non-compliance was brought to the attention of the highest aviation policy and regulatory levels including Ministerial, Regulatory, ANSP and Military agencies. 5.22 To improve the effectiveness of corrective action on this safety-critical issue, ICAO Regional Office, using verifiable reports received from IATA or other valid sources, would provide a summary of all reported instances of non-compliance to future ATM Sub-Group meetings for further consideration by APANPIRG. The summary would include the information type and reference number (e.g. AIP SUP, NOTAM), the issuing State, the publication date and effective date, and a brief description of the issue. This information would also be used as the basis for a discussion paper at the annual Conference of Asia/Pacific Directors-General of Civil Aviation. 5.23 In discussion the meeting noted that there were generally 3 cases of late notification of AIP changes; late publication, timely publication but late postponement, and late origination of any trigger NOTAM. 5.24 The meeting further discussed whether there was any potential, in the world of electronic AIP, for the 56 days notification requirement for major changes to be reduced. The meeting was informed that regardless of electronic delivery there was still a manual processing requirement before the data was distributed to end users, but reduction in notification times may be possible in a future environment with digital data feeds, AIXM and advanced automation. 14

AAITF/8 Report on Agenda Items Open Source Pre-Flight Information Service (WP10) 5.25 Mongolia presented information highlighting the need for a dynamic and open source of pre-flight information in the Asia/Pacific region which could serve as a back-up for PIB preparation, and would significantly improve the quality and timeliness of pre-flight information service. 5.26 The preparation of Pre-Flight Information Bulletins (PIB) was often interrupted because of system crashes, equipment failure and network outage. In these cases, AIS organizations used a secondary source to complete the process. A secondary source was also needed when the State’s database did not receive NOTAMs from places that its airlines did not operate to on a regular basis. Every State had its own secondary source to prepare PIB. Some of them used paper copy form, some used the internet to download from FAA website and the others used the AFTN network to access other States’ databases, such as RJJJYHYX etc. This results in a loss of time, lack of accuracy and increase of staff workload. 5.27 Mongolia proposed that there was a need for a dynamic and open source of pre-flight information in the Asia/Pacific Region, which would serve as a back-up for PIB preparation and improve the quality and timeliness of pre-flight information. This could be implemented by sharing an already existing database or forming a dynamic database which would consist of selected databases to store NOTAMs from around the globe. It would be necessary to select 2 or more States’ databases from Asia/Pacific Region because if one database was not functioning the other State's database would provide the necessary information. Approving and implementing this proposal would enable participating States to not only prepare Pre-Flight Information Bulletins in a timely and accurate manner from official reliable source during system failures and malfunctions, but also provide assistance for the States that have not yet implemented automated systems to produce PIB and for those who do not have complete database. For Example: Mongolia does not receive NOTAM from Singapore, India, Australia, New Zealand and etc. 5.28 The meeting noted that this proposal could provide a good opportunity for States lacking resources. It was further noted each participating State would be responsible for the quality of the data they provided to the open source system. 5.29 Mongolia offered to be nominated as one of the States whose database would be used. It was suggested that any States that may be interested in pursuing this proposal but were unable to commit to any involvement during this meeting could contact Mongolia directly by email to [email protected]. Mongolia clarified that they would have no access to participating States’ systems, and that they would keep the Task Force informed of any progress. AIM Quality Assurance Seminar Outcomes 6.1 The AIM Quality Assurance Seminar was held on 6 May immediately prior to AAITF/8, and was attended by 48 participants from 14 States including Australia, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong China, Macao China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam.

9. Closing of the meeting 9.1 In his closing remarks the Chair, Mr. Tuomela, noted the low number of Information Papers and Working Papers provided by States (7), compared to the number provided by the ICAO Secretariat (11). He commented that while the essential nature of successful AIS – AIM implementation required a Task Force to assist States’ progress, there needed to be greater active participation by the States. He thanked the meeting participants for their work during a busy meeting program. ------------------------

The article requires issuing separate NOTAM for each AD if navigation aid serves multiple AD. Japan sets Area of Jurisdiction for ATS units including airports (GEN 3.3-6). A NOTAM is issued for one airport according to the position of navigation aid in the Area of Jurisdiction. Data users request AISC to issue separate NOTAM for each AD because it is possible for them to overlook the NOTAM regarding navigation aid. Tracking multiple AD that are affected by a navigation aid is difficult. It requires manpower to keep such list up-to-date and it’s error-prone

Retrofitting of function to airspace planning system that makes it possible to output the list of AD affected by each navigation aid. It may take years. For a while, AISC considers that the NOTAM for navigation aid used for enroute is issued as RJJJ (Japan’s FIR) to avoid overlooking the information.

Example: YAO VOR/DME (YOE) is in Yao AP’s Area of Jurisdiction. A NOTAM regarding YOE is issued as Yao AP/RJOY. Though YOE serves five airports around Yao AP.

Guidance for Submission of BANP ATS Route Amendments. Page V-A-1 of Appendix A of Doc 9763 – Asia and Pacific Regions Air Navigation Plan provides the following explanation of Table ATS 1 – ATS Routes: Significant points defining the ATS routes are given. Only prominent locations have been listed. Additional points where facilities are provided to complete navigational guidance along a route, but not otherwise marking significant characteristics of the route (change of heading of centre line, intersection with other routes, etc.) have normally not been included. Locations shown in parentheses indicate significant points outside the ASIA/PAC regions.

It is not necessary that the ATS route definition in the BANP includes all information intended to be defined in AIP. The following guidance is provided for the submission of new or amended ATS route information. STEPS 1. Obtain ATS Route Designator from ICAO Regional Office (advise if RNAV or non-RNAV route); 2. Obtain waypoint 5 Letter Name Codes from ICARD system (each State must nominate at least one, and preferably two ICARD_5LNC_PLANNERs. Contact Regional Office for details); 3. Coordinate proposed change with affected States; 4. Submit BANP Proposal for Amendment (PfA) to Regional Office; then, after PfA approved 5. Promulgate AIP amendment.
