Objectives

Understand reasons for eTOD
 Why
 What it is intended for?


Be aware of related Aeronautical Data
Requirements
Be aware of eTOD status
 In terms of actual and potential applications
 In other regions and countries


Understand issues in relation to good
implementation
Have sound overview of DGCA’s electronic
terrain and obstacle data…
and how well it conforms to eTOD requirements
3
Why is eTOD Happening?

ICAO, FAA, EUROCONTROL, IATA, IFALPA, et al:
 CFIT continues to be major issue — and airborne
systems can use such data, but need good data and
standardised — hence incorporation of terrain data with
obstacle data (refer DO276, App C-3, C.3)
 Increased push for improved systems for:
Quality / Risk Management / Safety Management

Industry pressure
 Improved safety
 Industry competitiveness (functionality advantages), and
increasing capabilities)
 Standardisation (consistency) for wide-spread use by
multiple applications (ground, airborne, data
management, etc)
4
Why is eTOD Happening?

Globalisation / Standardisation
 Logical extension of standardisation of other aeronautical
data
 Eg, originally ARINC, now AIS->AIM.
 Eg, in Europe, EAD.
 Global standards, AICM/AIXM
 Applications that will use this kind of data will expect the
data to conform to eTOD (Annex 15, RTCA DOs, etc) in
future
 Data used/provided by all the different agencies and
states around the world needs to be consistent so that
 It is able to be properly interpreted (data integrity); and
 It will be usable in a safe and consistent manner

Intended eTOD Data Uses

Sum mary in RTCA Document, DO 276,
Appendix C
6
Intended Uses


Airborne Databases (ADBs)
CNS/ATM
 Eg, ADSB / communications coverage
 Refer EUROCONTROL DEMETER for DME/DME
Assessment

Lots of “futures”
 They are still to be well defined and specified…
 But it takes a long time to develop such applications

“Closest” real applications
 TAWS – eg, EGPWS (terrain only)
 Obstacles AND Terrain: Flight Procedures
 PANS-OPS Procedures: especially for RNAV, RNP, other semi and
precision procedures and all PBN
(note: may include departures in future)
 Engine-out procedures
7
Background to ICAO Standards

Developed based on industry and ISO
standards
 RTCA Docs
 200A – Standards for Processing Aeronautical Data
 201A – Standards for Aeronautical Information
 276 – User Requirements for Terrain and Obstacle Data
 ISO 19000 Series for Geographic Information
 Derived from Open GIS Consortium (OGC)
 Key standards:
o
o
o

ISO 19113 (Quality Principles)
ISO 19115 (Metadata)
ISO 19131 (Data Product Specifications
Aviation Standards for Aeronautical Data
 ICAO Annexes 4, 14, 15
 ICAO Doc 9881 Guidelines for Electronic Terrain,
Obstacle and Aerodrome Mapping Info
 and related FAA and European standards (based on
above)
8
Basic Understanding of eTOD

eTOD is specified in Annex 15 as having the
following characteristics
 A set of minimum data quality requirements
…for each of the geographic areas
…defined for different applications;
 Metadata that should be captured and stored with eTOD
data
 Two types of data:
 Obstacles; and
 Digital Terrain Models (DTMs)
 Terminology for Digital Terrain Data
DTM (Digital Terrain Model)
o DEM (Digital Elevation Model)
o DTED (Digital Terrain Elevation Data)

eTOD Status / Issues

General Points
 Future applications: requirements still vague and not necessarily
well understood
 Responsibilities & Cost
 Terrain Data
 Data volumes extreme, and costly, to capture and manage
o
o
o
o
System capacity and management limitations
How to use productively in existing systems
Capture methods, timeliness
Filtering?
 Management of change due to significant natural event (eg,
earth quakes, volcanoes, landslides, tsunamis)
14
eTOD Status / Issues

General Points
 Obstacle Data
 Cost implications are greatest, particularly with ICAO
requirements for check and update cycles (1, 5 yrs)
 Handling of data between surveys (eg, proposals, approvals,
construction, non-approved, temporary)
 Integration with Annex 14 (OLS) requirements ?!
 Management of change due to significant natural event.
o
Main potential implications are where geotechnical shift has
caused displacement - laterally &/or vertically – of key features
(eg, runway features) and obstacles
 * Note re significant events causing change eTOD:
 Link to SMS
 Requirement to check survey
 Potential NOTAMs, IFP Redesign &/or Revalidation
 Change Data Quality attributes in DB?
15
eTOD Status in Other Regions

Some specific examples
 Australia not going to comply for ? years (unspecified)
 Regional Implementations
 EUROCONTROL eTOD Forum
(http://www.eurocontrol.int/aim/public/standard_page/interop_tod_forum.html)
attempts to simplify through 'interpretation'
o One recent estimate of costs:
EUR0 0.5m per airport for terrain survey in Area 2
o Some countries now have Areas 1 and 4
o Data volumes and management of data a big concern
o
 AFeTOD - Africa - just starting
 Notice of differences where cannot comply
 Country-specific
 France, Spain, Egypt, etc
 Refer EUROCONTROL eTOD Forum Exchanges
16
eTOD in Indonesia?


Sources and implementation of eTOD for
Indonesia?
Use of Publicly Available Terrain Data for Area 1?
 Management and consistency across different agencies?
 Same Meta data, same handling, same interpretation
 Ongoing maintenance and development of eTOD.
 Need maintenance system and specification, which
incorporates processes for reviewing the maintenance
system and the related specifications)
 System must include regular schedule for review, etc
 Ongoing surveys - more than Annex 14 requirements
 Process for incorporating data inbetween surveys (eg,
approvals, temporary obstacles, unapproved obstacles, etc)
 Data improvement — include feedback to data supplier
and getting controlled updates
