(b) The role and importance of aeronautical data and aeronautical information changed significantly with the implementation of Area Navigation (RNAV), Performance-Based Navigation (PBN), airborne computer-based navigation systems, Performance-Based Communication (PBC), Performance-Based Surveillance (PBS), data link systems and satellite voice communications (SATVOICE). Corrupt, erroneous, late or missing aeronautical data and aeronautical information can potentially affect the safety of air navigation. (c) Guidance material on the organization and operation of aeronautical information services is contained in ICAO Doc 8126 ‘Aeronautical Information Services Manual’. § 175.59 Common reference systems for air navigation The AIS provider must use the following reference systems: (a) Horizontal reference system The World Geodetic System — 1984 (WGS-84) must be used as the horizontal (geodetic) reference system for air navigation. Consequently, published aeronautical geographical coordinates (indicating latitude and longitude) must be expressed in terms of the WGS-84 geodetic reference datum. Note: Comprehensive guidance material concerning WGS-84 is contained in the World Geodetic System — 1984 (WGS-84) Manual (ICAO Doc 9674). (b) Vertical reference system (1) Mean Sea Level (MSL) datum must be used as the vertical reference system for air navigation. Note 1: The geoid globally most closely approximates MSL. It is defined as the equipotential surface in the gravity field of the Earth which coincides with the undisturbed MSL extended continuously through the continents. Note 2: Gravity-related heights (elevations) are also referred to as orthometric heights while distances of points above the ellipsoid are referred to as ellipsoidal heights. (2) The Earth Gravitational Model — 1996 (EGM-96) must be used as the global gravity model for air navigation. (3) At those geographical positions where the accuracy of EGM-96 does not meet the accuracy requirements for elevation and geoid undulation on the basis of EGM-96 data, regional, national or local geoid models containing high resolution (short wavelength) gravity field data must be developed and used. When a geoid model other than the EGM-96 model is used, a description of the model used, including the Page 17 GACAR Part 175 UNCONTROLLED DOCUMENT WHEN DOWNLOADED VERSION 6.0 Consult the GACA website for current version GACA الطبقيه للطقب واللطبق والالمحليه General Authority of Civil Aviation GACAR PART 175 – AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION SERVICES & AERONAUTICAL CHARTS parameters required for height transformation between the model and EGM-96, must be provided in the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP). Note: Specifications concerning determination and reporting (accuracy of field work and data integrity) of elevation and geoid undulation at specific positions at aerodromes/heliports are given in Appendix 1. (c) Temporal reference system (1) The Gregorian calendar and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) must be used as the temporal reference system for air navigation. Note 1: A value in the time domain is a temporal position measured relative to a temporal reference system. Note 2: UTC is a time scale maintained by the Bureau International de l’Heure and the IERS and forms the basis of a coordinated dissemination of standard frequencies and time signals. Note 3: Guidance material relating to UTC is contained in Attachment D of ICAO Annex 5 — Units of Measurement to be Used in Air and Ground Operations. Note 4: ISO Standard 8601* specifies the use of the Gregorian calendar and 24-hour local or UTC for information interchange while ISO Standard 19108* prescribes the Gregorian calendar and UTC as the primary temporal reference system for use with geographic information. (2) When a different temporal reference system is used for some applications, the feature catalogue, or the metadata associated with an application schema or a data set, as appropriate, must include either a description of that system or a citation for a document that describes that temporal reference system. Note: ISO Standard 19108*, Annex D describes some aspects of calendars that may have to be considered in such a description. § 175.61 Miscellaneous specifications (a) Aeronautical information products intended for international distribution must include English text for those parts expressed in plain language. (b) Place names must be spelt in conformity with local usage, transliterated, when necessary, into the ISO-Basic Latin alphabet. (c) Units of measurement used in the origination, processing and distribution of aeronautical data and aeronautical information must be in conformity with the units of measure prescribed in GACAR Part 2. (d) ICAO abbreviations must be used in aeronautical information products whenever they are appropriate, and their use will facilitate distribution of aeronautical data and aeronautical information. * ISO Standard - 8601 — Data elements and interchange formats — Information interchange — Representation of dates and times 9000 — Quality Management Systems — Fundamentals and Vocabulary - 19101 — Geographic information — Reference model 19104 — Geographic information — Terminology 19108 — Geographic information — Temporal schema - 19109 — Geographic information — Rules for application schema 19110 — Geographic information — Feature cataloguing schema 19115 — Geographic information — Metadata • 19117 — Geographic information — Portrayal • 19131 — Geographic information — Data product specification Page 18 GACAR Part 175 UNCONTROLLED DOCUMENT WHEN DOWNLOADED Consult the GACA website for current version VERSION 6.0 GACA العربيه للطيران المدني General Authority of Civil Aviation GACAR PART 175 – AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION SERVICES & AERONAUTICAL CHARTS SUBPART B – RESPONSIBILITIES AND FUNCTIONS § 175.63 Responsibilities (a) The AIS provider must ensure that the requirements of this part are adequately met.
