# AIS.OR.210 Exchange of aeronautical data and aeronautical information

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROVIDERS OF AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION SERVICES · Regulation (EU) 2017/373 · EAR revision 12 Mar 2025

IR Implementing rule

## AIS.OR.210 Exchange of aeronautical data and aeronautical information

An AIS provider shall ensure that:

(a) the format of aeronautical data is based on an aeronautical information exchange model designed to be globally interoperable; and

(b) aeronautical data is exchanged through electronic means.

AMC Acceptable means of compliance

## AMC1 AIS.OR.210(a) Exchange of aeronautical data and aeronautical information

EXCHANGE MODEL

An AIS provider should use the aeronautical information exchange model (AIXM) to enable the management and distribution of aeronautical information services data in digital format.

## GM1 AIS.OR.210(a) Exchange of aeronautical data and aeronautical information

EXCHANGE MODEL

(a) AIXM 5.1 is considered as being the minimum baseline for the exchange of aeronautical data and aeronautical information.

(b) More information on the AIXM may be found under http\://www\.aixm.aero/.

## GM2 AIS.OR.210(a) Exchange of aeronautical data and aeronautical information

DIGITAL TERRAIN DATA

(a) The existing formats for the exchange of electronic terrain datasets do not fully meet the requirements of the ISO 19100 series on geographic information, therefore the GeoTIFF format and Shape file with metadata is preferred.

(b) The list of most used terrain formats can be found in Appendix D to the EUROCONTROL ‘Terrain and Obstacle Data (TOD) Manual’ (edition 2.2, dated 28 November 2019).

## GM1 AIS.OR.210(b) Exchange of aeronautical data and information

ELECTRONIC MEANS

The exchange of aeronautical data and aeronautical information may be done by a number of electronic exchanges avoiding the need of manual interaction with the data itself.
