The latest upgrade of apsXML eAIP production software has been deployed in the EAD

The release 6 version of the eAIP subsystem software included a number of major changes. In particular, the systems tools for creating and maintaining ICAO standard AIP tables using AIXM data have been extended. The tools capabilities now include the creation of individual aerodrome section (AD 2, AD 3, AD 4) tables using EAD AIXM data. All tables created from AIXM data in the software are updated with the latest data during the eAIP production cycle.
Another change allows users to specify whether AIXM data used in the eAIP is formatted to ICAO recommended resolution or using the highest resolution available in the database. As with other upgrades to the eAIP software, the focus is on letting the users choose a principle of optional, additional features is used to avoid forcing users to change their documents.

The forty-three changes in the upgrade were verified by EUROCONTROL and EAD having successfully passed rigorous testing. This guarantee of quality is one reason why apsXML has proved so popular.
