It is recommended that adequate research and planning is conducted prior to the acquisition of an automated AIM system. To continually improve the quality of aeronautical data and aeronautical    information, and to cope with the ever increasing demands for more and better aeronautical information products and services, the transition from paper to digital data and automated data processing is strongly encouraged. However, digital aeronautical information products and services must continue to comply

with the provisions of Annex 15 and PANS-AIM.
