Terrain and obstacle datasets were already an ICAO Annex 15 requirement since 2013. The 16th Edition brings 3 more. Let’s see the full list:
⛰️Terrain: grid of terrain elevations at defined geographical intervals
🗼Obstacle: “vertical and horizontal extent of obstacles” plus metadata
And the new datasets:
📖AIP: the contents of the AIP, or whatever is available🤷 (more about this soon)
🛬Aerodrome Mapping: aerodrome data for charting, EFB, situation awareness…
📉Instrument Flight Procedure: IFP data, avoiding long non-standard data tables in AIPs
✅AIS shall also publish a checklist of valid datasets.
