The EUROCONTROL ATM Strategy for the years 2000+ requires that Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) are enhanced within the ECAC region to support all phases of flight, from strategic planning through to the archiving of the data post flight. ATM is increasingly becoming information-driven, and requires access to global on-line, real-time, quality managed aeronautical information. Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) is the successor of AIS and envisages transition from product centric to information centric to provide the “right information at the right place and the right time”. |

|
|
The Airport Operations, Aeronautical Information Management and Environmental Management (AEM) Business Division is responsible for all EATM related matters concerning aeronautical information management, including the AIM Domain, System-Wide Information management (SWIM) and data modelling to support the exchange of air traffic management (ATM) and airport operations information, ranging from research and strategy through to programme and implementation support. The AEM Business Division also acts as the main contact point for all meteorology related matters.

Within AEM, the AIM Domain will initiate the activities required to promote the development, management, and intelligent use of all information relevant to airspace users, air traffic service providers, airline operators, and all other users of aeronautical information, in order to implement System Wide Information Management (SWIM). Most activities are derived from the AIM Strategy and will provide support for the early introduction of System-Wide Information Management (SWIM) capability necessary, inter-alia, to facilitate Information Sharing and Collaborative Decision-Making (CDM). Key tasks include the definition and development to proof-of-concept stage of supporting components, including the pan-European Airport Capacity and delay statistics Support (PACS).

Strategic airport planning, and implementation of EC regulations related to airport slot scheduling at the European levels are paramount in the research of more efficient European ATM system. The basic concept of airport capacity analysis has been extended for the purpose of pan-European strategic airport system planning. For that purpose, it is paramount to increase the quality of information with the stakeholders, to ensure inter-operability with other aeronautical information and related exchange models, and to address other airport performance indicators, such as quality of service, delay, punctuality and environment. To reply to that need, and as an action from the Capacity Planning Workshop (9 Sept. 2004) and AOT/16 (21-23 Sept. 2004), the Agency was mandated to develop the pan-European Airport Capacity and delay statistics Support (PACS) proof of concept.

Two specific activities of AIM have been supported by CARE:
|
|
1. |
the EUROCONTROL Commonly Agreed Methodology for Airport Airside Capacity Analysis (CAMACA) |
|
2. |
The pan-European Airport Capacity and delay statistics Support (PACS), that is a proof-of-concept that is one key element of both AIM and the future system-wide information management (SWIM) concept. |
|
|
|
|
|
The key objective of the CARE-AIM action is twofold:
|
|
1. |
to promote pan-European data sharing and improve co-operation between all the ATM stakeholders for the purpose of ATM System overall benefit. |
|
2. |
to enhance the quality of data share for the purpose of consistent and integrated European ATM Network Planning |
