Introduction to the ArcGIS for Aviation tutorial

In this tutorial we will show examples of functions available in ArcGIS for Aviation extensions. It consists of three exercises and a set of samples. The first exercise explains how to use the automatic data quality control check. In the second exercise, we will explain creating an obstacle recognition surface (OIS). In the third exercise, I will explain the process of analyzing OIS failure data.

To complete this tutorial, you are advised to either complete the ArcGIS Desktop III training course or learn the same level of knowledge.

ArcGIS for Aviation is part of a complete system for managing data, products, workflow, quality. It is an ArcGIS Desktop extension that is tightly integrated with other extensions such as ArcGIS Server and desktop ArcGIS Data Interoperability extensions, ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extensions, ArcGIS 3D Analyst extensions, and ArcGIS Workflow Manager for Desktop. ArcGIS for Aviation includes bundled supplementary components such as Esri Production Mapping Tool, ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Desktop, and Task Assistant Manager. These components together provide a comprehensive solution to the aviation industry on aviation industry data, products, workflow, quality control challenges and inefficiencies. ArcGIS for Aviation solves the challenges faced by the aviation industry, such as demand for more products, reduced operating budget, dynamic list of standards, and significant changes in information.

ArcGIS for Aviation is part of the ArcGIS system designed to solve problems and improve the efficiency of private, military and civilian airlines, airports, consultants and affiliates. This allows organizations to manage aviation data, products, services, workflow, and quality. This system is extremely efficient in creating and maintaining aviation data based on industry standards to support charting, airspace analysis, airport management, and compliance.

ArcGIS for Aviation: Charting helps air navigation service providers, commercial and military airlines, airlines and civil aviation companies to simplify the creation of aeronautical charts. It provides a true GIS-based platform for managing aviation data and information throughout the lifecycle. This allows you to quickly create charts that meet industry and organization specific requirements. ArcGIS for Aviation: The airport will assist private and military airport operators, consulting companies, and airspace administrators to collect, manage, quality control and analyze their airport data. It can be used to meet the regulatory requirements set by the Federal Aviation Administration, EUROCONTROL, and ICAO.
