Importing AIXM data using geoprocessing

This topic applies to ArcInfo only.

The Import AIXM to AIS geoprocessing tool supports the most robust AIXM 4.5 data available. It is based on the rules and relationships set by the AICM/AIXM 4.5 standards. The tool allows you to populate and maintain your database through digesting an AIXM 4.5 XML message. This allows you to manage your aeronautical data, create charts, maintain charts, and supply your data by using the Aeronautical Solution.
