The need for a Strategy for management of Aeronautical Information
Air Transport has evolved to become a key enabling component of the world economy. As the global and Eurpean economies expand, the demand for air transportation grows apace. Airspace and airport capacity must be increased to absorb this demand. Since traditional methods of increasing capacity are near exhaustion, new and improved methods and concepts are needed to maximise the exloitation of existing capacity and to add capacity wherever possible. In order to release the latent capacity in the Air Trafic Management (ATM)system and to create new capacity, ATM is required to evolve and implement the means to provide the necessary capacity in a safe, timely, efficient and cost-effective way.
ATM will depend extensively on the provision of timely, relevant, acurate, and quality assured information that allow the ATM community to make informed decisions. These decisions will needto be taken on the basis of Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) rather than in isolation. When shared on a system-wide basis and using advances in the corresponding technologies, information will allow the ATM Community members to conduct their business and operations in a efficient and cost effective way.
The traditional product centric provision of Aeronautical Information has to be replaced by a data centric and systems oriented solution, one in which timely and reliable data is made available permanently and dynamically for use in applications that perform the required tasks, be it flight planning, flight management, navigation, separation assurance, CDM or any other strategic or tactical ATM activity.

One key enabler of the ATM system is interoprerability. It is essential that the new definition of aeronautical data is provided in a common, system and platform independent format (or a set of harmonised formats) within a virtual information management system. The objective is to ensure consistency, authenticity and appropriate coverage of the data, and to provide accessibility to the data by all users of the ATM network, both on the ground and in the air. The enlarged scope of Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) includes all categories of information required to support the new ATM System.
Traditional AIS will need to make the transition to AIM and then to Information Management (IM), a process characterised by the increasing application of the "all embracing" System Wide Information Management (SWIM) principles. IM will be fully SWIM based, in fact becoming the instantiation of SWIM in the aeronautical environment.
