AIXM is the de facto standard for exchanging digital aeronautical information. We offer courses on AIXM 5.1.1, which is the latest version, and on AIXM 4.5, the old version from 2004 that is still in use by some AIS departments and by EAD.

Our AIXM 5 courses are practical, on-the-job training. If trainees have no access to an AIXM 5 database, we can provide one. Customers who have their own AIXM-based software can use it during the training to practice data encoding.
