WHAT IS ICAO GIS?
The ICAO GIS website is an enormous repository of updated aeronautical data that enables users to query, analyze and obtain geospatial information. ICAO GIS provides a foundation for mapping and analysis, to help users understand patterns, relationships, and geographic context.
Our GIS covers six data areas :
FEATURE GIS TOOL AND PRODUCT
The ICAO GIS platform will encompasses various GIS online tools, interactive maps, and navigation capabilities.
FlightVector APP and
FIR (Flight Information Region) are two ICAO GIS feature products:
FlightVector is the vital web-based tool on the GIS website with the distinct advantage of being able to enable users to perform spatial analysis and visualize navigation data more efficiently. It contains many interactive maps, making it possible to explore with greater detail and multiple search and select functions. Not only does it have 'element filters', to turn off/on some elements, but users may also add their own data layers.
It is a navigation tool that is updated each month and offers dynamic rendering, element selecting, element type filtering and element searching.
Flight Information Region (FIR) is an airspace of defined dimensions that provides flight information and alerting services. FIRs are critical elements in the aviation planning activities. ICAO FIR information is comprised of data and amendments that have been collected since 1947. The data is compiled in Shapefile format for easy process and analysis.
