The aviation system is becoming increasingly dependent on the provision of quality-assured and digital information that allows the ATM community to make rapid, informed decisions. These decisions will need to be taken collaboratively rather than in isolation; this is referred to as collaborative decision making (CDM). It is recognized that to satisfy the requirements of an increasing number of aeronautical information users (e.g. aircraft operators, airport operators, air traffic services, etc.), aeronautical information services must transition to the broader concept of aeronautical information management (AIM). The responsibilities of an AIS provider may not change, but the way in which business is conducted must change. There is an increased emphasis on data distribution and data quality, which positions AIM to serve the ATM community in a more efficient and cost-effective way in terms of their information management requirements. To successfully transition from AIS to AIM, all parties involved with setting up, organizing, providing and managing services, as well as conducting safety oversight need to have a clear understanding of their respective roles and responsibilities.
