Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service

Abstract

The Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service provides a capability for on-request aeronautical aerodrome maps that are generated from aerodrome mapping data. Note: Aerodrome mapping data are based on the ICAO Annex 15 notion of aerodrome mapping data and the related aerodrome mapping datasets. Aeronautical aerodrome maps are a graphical representation of aerodrome mapping data. The service generates aeronautical aerodrome maps from current or next AIRAC cycle aerodrome mapping data available in the service back-end. The service encodes the aeronautical aerodrome maps in a graphical format. The consumer of the service can specify in the aerodrome map request: - the individual aerodrome, - the aerodrome map layers to be included, and - the geographical area of interest. The provided aeronautical aerodrome map is used in visualisation contexts as a backdrop map. The service capability enables various use cases (e.g. Digital NOTAM overlay in ePIB applications). The Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service definition provides a common specification for the implementation of Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service instances that conform with EU Implementing Regulation 2021/116 - Common Project One. Note: In the context of European SWIM deployment the Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service capability realizes the SESAR Deployment Programme Aerodrome Mapping Service - Map part. The capability to request airport layout features (i.e. aerodrome mapping data) is realized by the Aeronautical Information Request Service.

Aerodrome Maps

There is a need for aeronautical aerodrome maps in support of integrated digital briefing applications (e.g. ePIB). Aerodrome maps can be used to ensure common situational awareness using them as backdrops in applications that display changes in the availability of the aerodrome infrastructure (e.g. Digital NOTAM overlay). Another example is the use of aerodrome maps in applications in support of aerodrome surface management.A list of aerodrome map related operational needs is available in Appendix C.The aeronautical aerodrome maps offered by the service satisfy the EU Implementing Regulation 2021/116 - Common Project One.Note: Aerodrome mapping data are based on the ICAO Annex 15 notion of aerodrome mapping data and the related aerodrome mapping datasets. Aeronautical aerodrome maps are a graphical representation of aerodrome mapping data.Note: In the context of European SWIM deployment the Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service capability realizes the SESAR Deployment Programme Aerodrome Mapping Service - Map part. The capability to request airport layout features (i.e. aerodrome mapping data) is realized by the Aeronautical Information Request Service.

Fair Use

Customers can be negatively impacted when data usage is disproportionate and for extended periods. As protection mechanism, the service will restrict excessive requests originated from the same client.
Authentication

The authentication requires all users to sign the requests using an X.509 certificate.
Authorisation

In order to consume the services, the Data Consumer user must have the appropriate user roles corresponding to the licenses allocated to their organisation. The service ensures that satisfactory authorisation is put in place according to EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Technical Infrastructure (TI) Yellow Profile requirement SWIM-TIYP-0070.

The service ensures point-to-point confidentiality in accordance with EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Technical Infrastructure (TI) Yellow Profile through the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2.
Integrity

The service ensures point-to-point integrity in accordance with EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Technical Infrastructure (TI) Yellow Profile through the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2.
Business Policies

Due care should be taken if an application consuming the service is used in cockpit/flight.

The service offers aeronautical aerodrome map layers based on a graphical representation (i.e. portrayal) of aerodrome mapping data (AMD). Note: A map is the result of a request to portray information represented by one or more layers. The service conforms with the OGC Web Map Service 1.3.0 Interface Standard. The EPSG:3857 coordinate reference system is used for the projection. If an aeronautical aerodrome map layer corresponds to one of the layers listed in Appendix B, the layer name in Appendix B is used to expose the capabilities of the service. If the service consumer requests a combination of layers exposed by the service, the generation of the aeronautical aerodrome map is according to the OGC Web Map Service 1.3.0 Interface Standard. The layers are based on AIXM 5.1.1 AMD Features with geometry. Naming and grouping of the layers is defined according to the Appendix B. Note: The GetCapabilities operation exposes the available layers, styles and coordinate reference systems. Note: The coordinate reference system and naming of the layers used in the service are subject to the requirements provided in this service definition.

The OGC Web Map Service 1.3.0 Interface Standard is used.The behaviour in normal conditions is as follows:- The request message is sent from the service consumer to the service- The service consumer remains blocked while awaiting the reply- The service remains blocked while processing the reply- The aeronautical aerodrome map, the reply message, is sent from the service to the service consumer.
Error Messages and Error Handling

All RESTful responses provide feedback of type information, warning or error depending on the execution success.
Error Codes and Expected Effects

The complete list of the response feedback is available in the ADM XML Primer document, appendix A.2 Error, info and warning messages supported by SDD.

A service monitoring mechanism is not available to service consumers.

- GetFeatureInfo
  
  The GetFeatureInfo operation returns the spatial and attribute data for the features at a given location on a map. It is similar to the WFS GetFeature operation, but less flexible in both input and output. The one advantage of GetFeatureInfo is that the request uses an (x,y) pixel value from a returned WMS image. This is easier to use for a client that is not able to perform true geographic referencing.

OGC Web Map Service

This International Standard specifies the behaviour of a service that produces spatially referenced maps dynamically from geographic information. It specifies operations to retrieve a description of the maps offered by a server to retrieve a map, and to query a server about features displayed on a map. This International Standard is applicable to pictorial renderings of maps in a graphical format; it is not applicable to retrieval of actual feature data or coverage data values.
OpenGIS Styled Layer Descriptor Profile of the Web Map Service Implementation Specification

The styling of the map output conforms with the WMS specification made by the Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) 1.1.0 standard.
WS Light

REST (Representational State Transfer) is a set of constraints for designing and developing web-based systems that are scalable, reliable, and loosely coupled. REST APIs use HTTP methods (such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to define actions that can be performed on resources. These methods align with CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, which are used to manipulate resources over the web.
XML

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language and file format for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing arbitrary data. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.
