Purpose and Scope
This document provides guidance for Aerodrome Mapping Database
(AMDB) generation. It is aligned with EUROCAE ED-99B / RTCA
DO-272B, User Requirements for Aerodrome Mapping
Information, and EUROCAE ED-119A / RTCA DO-291A,
Interchange Standards for Terrain, Obstacle and Aerodrome
Mapping Data. Updates and changes resulting from new revisions
ED-99C / DO-272C and ED-119B / DO-291B as listed in APPENDIX B are
not considered and not included in this document, but may follow in
a subsequent version.
The document complements the EUROCAE/RTCA AMDB standards with
additional information and examples. The intended users of this
document include data originators and those who are interested in
more information regarding the AMDB origination process. Although
these guidelines are based on the above mentioned EUROCAE/RTCA
documents, they do not replace them, as this material was written
for guidance purposes only.
