Advanced Aeronautical Cartography
Course Objectives
- To have a general review regarding the main principles of cartography.
- Understand the main concepts of the modern air navigation satellite systems such as “GNSS, GPS, CNS/ATM, RNAV, RNP, and PBN”.
- Understand the main concepts and methods of survey that relate to the production of aeronautical ICAO charts.
- To be familiar with all digital data sources that used in the charts productions such as Digital Elevation Model “DEM” data and able to build the data base needed to produce the Aeronautical Charts
- Be familiar with Types of Datum, Projections, and Scales.
- Able to inspect the navigational charts of service provider deliverables.
- Familiar with all digital data sources that are used in the charts productions like SRTM data.
- Able to build the database needed to produce Aeronautical Charts.
- Understand the main concepts of air traffic control separations and procedures.
- Read the topographic maps and extract the data from it like natural obstacles and the aerodrome General geographical features needed for ICAO area chart production.
- Understand the components of the aeronautical charts production database.
- Understand the local AIP aeronautical chats.
- Able to maintain the quality assurance for the aerodrome survey files and also able to extract the needed data for charting.
- Produce all types of local AIP charts using automation software (Local software or UATS software)
- Able to make the quality control procedures for the Aeronautical Charts that will be published in the AIP and also the necessary amendments in the amendment cycle
- Able to update or amend the local AIP charts periodically
