Air Traffic Network

Air traffic network-product is a link-knot routing dataset compliant with INSPIRE requirements. It includes f.ex. flight routes and aerodromes. Data shall not be used for operational flight activities or flight planning.

INSPIRE Air Traffic Network-product includes spatial information of air traffic network in accordance with the INSPIRE Directive. The data has been retrieved from the EAD database maintained by Eurocontrol. Information is updated regularly but is not constantly up to date. Data can be used for purposes that are in accordance with the INSPIRE Directive, but shall not be used for operational flight activities or flight planning. ANS Finland www.ais.fi –site provides information for operational flight activities or flight planning

Available layers

Aerodrome Node:
Node located at the aerodrome reference point of an airport/heliport, which is used to represent it in a simplified way.DEFINITION Aerodrome Reference Point (ARP): The designated geographical location of an aerodrome, located near the initial or planned geometric centre of the aerodrome and normally remaining where originally established [AIXM3.3].DEFINITION Airport/heliport: A defined area on land or water (including any buildings, installations and equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and surface movement of aircraft/helicopters [AIXM5.0].

Air Route Link:
A portion of a route to be flown usually without an intermediate stop, as defined by two consecutive significant points

Air Space Area:
A defined volume in the air, described as horizontal projection with vertical limits.

Designated Point:
A geographical location not marked by the site of a radio navigation aid, used in defining an ATS route, the flight path of an aircraft or for other navigation or ATS purposes.

Instrument Approach Procedure:
A series of predetermined manoeuvres by reference to flight instruments with specified protection from obstacles from the initial approach fix, or where applicable, from the beginning of a defined arrival route to a point from which a landing can be completed and thereafter, if a landing is not completed, to a position at which holding or en route obstacle clearance criteria apply.

Navaid:
One or more Navaid Equipments providing navigation services.DEFINITION Navaid equipment: A physical navaid equipment like VOR, DME, localizer, TACAN or etc.

Procedure Link:
A series of predetermined manoeuvres with specified protection from obstacles.

Runway Area:
A defined rectangular area on a land aerodrome/heliport prepared for the landing and take-off of aircraft.

Runway Centerline Point:
An operationally significant position on the center line of a runway direction.

Standard Instrument Arrival:
A designated instrument flight rule (IFR) arrival route linking a significant point, normally on an ATS route, with a point from which a published instrument approach procedure can be commenced.

Standard Instrument Departure:
A designated instrument flight rule (IFR) departure route linking the aerodrome or a specific runway of the aerodrome with a specified significant point, normally on a designated ATS route, at which the en-route phase of a flight commences.

Surface Composition:
Runway surface material

CTR (Not INSPIRE): 
A control zone (CTR) is a block of Controlled Airspace extending from the surface of the earth to a specified upper limit.
