AIXM 5-The Staircase to Integrated AIM
How to embark now on future Aeronautical Information Management
By Dr. Günter Hellstern and Ulrich Kaage, COMSOFT, Germany
Integrated Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) is a buzz word that is anticipated to address the demanding need of tomorrow's air traffic and flight management for consistent and up-to-date data. It is obvious that only AIM-solutions based on latest international standard will be made for the future and any proprietary approach will lead to a dead end. Two possible migration scenarios from conventional Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) to AIM can be identified and are discussed in this article according to key criteria like risk, costs, smoothness of transition, and long-term vendor dependency.
