Notes on FIXM v4.0.0
FIXM v4.0.0 supports:
• The content of the individual ATS message fields described in ICAO Doc
4444
• The new flight data items identified by ICAO ATMRPP as part of the
requirements for FF-ICE Block 1 (based on working paper ref. ATMRPPWG/31-WP/713 “Manual on FF-ICE Implementation Guidance”).
FIXM v4.0.0 content is entirely traced to ICAO
information exchange requirements
Some capabilities previously enabled
by FIXM v3.0 are no longer supported.

Some candidate FIXM v4.1.0
Change Requests
CR - Unrestricted URI Referencing
 Enable the inclusion of XLink references (to AIXM data) in FIXM datasets
<complexType abstract="true" name="SignificantPointType">
...
<attributeGroup ref="xlink:simpleAttrs"/>
</complexType>
CR - Make use of the GML Aviation Profile
 Or develop another profile…
More candidate CRs in the OGC Testbed-12 FIXM GML Engineering Report

AIXM and FIXM are different solutions for
different business cases
 FIXM and AIXM have different technical designs
 This is normal!
 AIXM and FIXM are designed and optimized for their respective use
cases!
 FIXM does not import a profile of AIXM
 Why should FIXM integrate and then misuse the AIXM temporality
model, which is created for enabling Digital NOTAM exchanges?
BUT
 FIXM is “mappable” to AIXM
 The next FIXM version might enable references to AIXM data using
Xlink href
 Eventually, FIXM and AIXM should map to the ICAO AIRM
