Overview
The Position Integrity IFR DataPack is a worldwide database that
is derived from the Aviation Safety Database (ASDB), part of the
Position Integrity Geospatial Database Framework (GDF). This framework
provides the blueprint for maintaining a global repository of
always up-to-date aeronautical data for navigational purposes.
Details
The Position Integrity IFR DataPack is a worldwide data product
derived from the Aviation Safety Database (ASDB), a subset of the
Position Integrity Geospatial Database Framework (GDF). This framework
provides the blueprint for maintaining a global repository of
continuously updated aeronautical data for navigational purposes. When
used in conjunction with our free aeronautical moving map application,
Digital Aviator, the IFR DataPack
provides the content for a full-featured PC-based aeronautical navigation
system.
The Position Integrity IFR DataPack consists of many key components
that are logically organized and presented by the Digital Aviator
as "layers." Currently, these layers consist of:
- Airports
- Airport Navaids
- Airport Remarks
- Communications - Airport and Enroute
- Services and Facilities
- Runways
- Navaids
- Fixes - Waypoints / Intersections
- Grid MORA
- Airspace - Class / Special Use / Boundaries
In addition, the following elements are currently being integrated:
All layers include global coverage. The data are updated
13 times a year in accordance with the international standard
of common effective dates which prescribe update intervals of 28 days. Each update
includes a refreshed view of the entire database, based on the
Domestic and International Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) publications,
which drive the change control process for aviation data.
Within the Digital Aviator application, each layer can be individually
labeled for quick identification of familiar elements. In addition
an advanced query function allows indexed spatial searches to access the
detailed attributes of each component.
OEM Licensing
Although the IFR DataPack is specifically formatted to work in
conjunction with the Digital Aviator, the underlying data components
are available for license by avionics manufacturers, software vendors,
and/or system integrators. Position Integrity offers flexible
tailored data services and can provide
all or a subset of the components found in the IFR DataPack in virtually
any format. We are already providing data to several key avionics
manufactures and software vendors.
