An Introduction to Aeronautical Data Exchange Using AIXM Track: Transportation Author(s): Barry Davis, Brett Brunk The Aeronautical Information Conceptual Model (AICM) and its XML analog, the Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM), were developed by EUROCONTROL to enable aeronautical data standardization and exchange among European states. AICM and AIXM organize aeronautical data into six data concept areas: Aerodromes, Airspace, Services, Fixes, Routes, and Procedures. Today, EUROCONTROL uses AICM and AIXM to create products such as the European Aeronautical Information Publication (e-AIP). With the recent adoption of AIXM by the United States, AICM and AIXM are on their way toward becoming a global standard for representing aeronautical data. Recently, the Federal Aviation Administration's Air Traffic Airspace Laboratory undertook an effort to modernize the process used to build, validate and publish Temporary Flight restrictions (TFRs). An extension to AIXM, currently termed xNOTAM, is being used as a standard for representing a TFR.
