Abstract

Compared to other transport systems (e.g. automobile and railway transport), the network integration and the exchange of information within civil aviation are highly developed. The information exchange does not only occur between pilots and air traffic controllers as key participants, but also includes other airline stakeholders, e.g. operations control and maintenance as well as airports and passengers. In addition to these information interfaces within the air transport system, there are external interfaces for information exchange, e.g. ground or maritime transport systems.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Short-term changes are alterations that occur between AIRAC effective dates; the changes may be either of temporary or permanent nature.

  2. 2.

    According to ICAO Annex 15, NOTAM should preferably be distributed by means of telecommunications, but a list of all valid NOTAM in plain text must be provided in print on a monthly basis. NOTAM transmitted via telecommunications are usually referred to as Class I, whereas those distributed in print are Class II.
