Automated AIP Charting

Eliminate manual drafting. The software reads your procedure design data and automatically generates track lines, waypoints, and holding patterns.

Drastically reduce the time required to produce Standard Instrument Departure (SID) and Arrival (STAR) charts.

ICAO Annex 4 Compliance

Ensure your charts meet international standards from day one. Pre-configured templates ensure correct symbology, scaling, and layout.

Includes a comprehensive library of aeronautical symbols compliant with ICAO Annex 4 specifications.

CAD & GIS Integration

Seamlessly export your drafts to industry-standard formats (DXF, DGN) for final polishing in MicroStation or AutoCAD.

Integrate your aeronautical charting workflow directly with your existing GIS environment.

Frequently asked questions

Aeronautical Charting FAQs

Does this software replace MicroStation or AutoCAD?

No, it complements them. Our aeronautical charting software acts as a bridge. It does the heavy lifting of placing geospatial data, waypoints, and routes accurately on the chart. You then export this “90% complete” chart to MicroStation or AutoCAD for the final aesthetic touches required by your specific AIP publication standards.

Can I customise the chart templates?

Yes. You can define custom borders, title blocks, and marginalia to match your country’s specific AIP layout. Once set up, these templates allow for rapid batch production of charts that look consistent every time.

Is it compatible with AIXM 5.1?

Yes. The software is built to handle modern data exchange formats. You can import AIXM 5.1 files directly to generate charts, ensuring that your published charts match your digital aeronautical data exactly.
