 Aeronautical Transformation Supports DOD Aircrews Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Chuck McGaugh Transformation of the Aeronautical Flight Information Publications (FLIP) and Navigation/Planning (Nav/Plan) Chart production process at the National Geospatial-intelligence Agency (NGA) has been underway for the past two years. These efforts have culminated in the successful transition of the methodology to produce and maintain FLIP for the DOD aircrews. The process by which the Esri PLTS was modified to support the creation and maintenance of digital charts from NGA's aeronautical data holdings will be discussed. Additionally, the ongoing follow-on efforts to modify the PLTS to support the production and maintenance of NGA's FLIP Terminal procedures products and Nav/Plan charts are being worked as the 'next' and 'after next'. The resulting improvements in product quality and accuracy, labor efficiencies, and future applications of the new digital aeronautical data/products will be presented and demonstrated.
