PLTS for ArcGIS—Aeronautical Solution

Tools for Managing Aeronautical Information

Aeronautical Solution is an extension to ArcGIS that allows you to efficiently manage aeronautical information and produce high-quality charts. It supports the need of civil and military agencies, commercial airlines, and chart producers to create, maintain, or utilize standard aeronautical datasets based on the latest digital data. The solution provides utilities to exchange data in formats such as Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM), U.S. Defense and AIXM-based data models, and a robust editing environment. This editing canvas offers a map-based visual editing workspace and the precise control of feature parameters typically associated with non-spatial editing environments.

Database-driven Aeronautical Charting Products

Aeronautical Solution lets you produce complex aeronautical charts from a central database. The software is preconfigured to support U.S. Defense, EUROCONTROL, and ICAO Annex 4 specification charts.
