Profile views

In the Aeronautical Solution, profile views are composed of related graphic elements. The Instrument Approach Profile View tool creates these graphic elements based on data contained in the Aeronautical Information System (AIS).

Preparing the database for creating profile views

To create a profile view, the production database must be populated with the appropriate data.

The tables below (feature classes, attributed relationship classes, or stand-alone tables) and attributes must be present in the database for the Instrument Approach Profile View tool to function.

If an attribute is described as "required," it must be populated.
