INTRODUCTION

 

PT INDOAVIS NUSANTARA, as an Indonesian National Company, has for 15 (fifteen) years, experience in Geo Informatics and Aeronautical Navigation Support, and has proven it is ability and proven in the ability to serve the needs of the Nation. Since 1998 Indoavis has produced various Aeronautical Product and services, among others, the need of VFR Chart (the ONC and SAC), which previously the Indonesian Aviation Industry, has been heavily relying on US DOD VFR Charts.

 

In 2004, Indoavis has been requested by the Indonesia government (DGCA) to create the AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication) 7th Edition of Indonesia. The Indonesian Airforce has been supplied with FLIP (Flight Information Publication), off all military airport by Indoavis.

Oil company operating in Indonesia requested to provide Helicopter procedure for the landing procedure scale 1:125.000.

Also been entrusted by German Lido Lufthansa to supply GIS on all Airport World wide, The Indoavis Product and services has served Indonesia and surrounding countries, be it the Government, Private and Oil Companies.

 

The Qatar AIS, has request Indoavis of the possibility to Generate The Qatar Aeronautical Chart-ICAO 1:500.000, and we are very pleased to attend to the request. For further details, please visit our website http://www.indoavis.co.id.

 

RESPONSIBILITY
The authority responsible for the production of aeronautical charts is the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority.
Aeronautical charts have been prepared in accordance with the standards and recommended practices of ICAO (Annex 4) Chapter 17 – Aeronautical Charts, and the guidance material in the ICAO Aeronautical Charts Manual (Doc 8697 - AN/889/2).
State Responsibility

Function
This chart shall provide information to satisfy the requirements of visual air navigation for low speed, short- or medium-range operations at low and intermediate altitudes.

Note 1.- This chart may be used:
a) to serve as a basic aeronautical chart;
b) to provide a suitable medium for basic pilot and navigation training;
c) to supplement highly specialized charts which do not provide essential visual information;
d) in pre-flight planning.
Note 2.- It is intended that these charts be provided for land areas where charts of this scale are required for civil air operations employing visual air navigation independently or in support of other forms of air navigation.
Note 3.- Where States produce charts of this series covering their national territories, the entire area being portrayed is usually treated on a regional basis.

 

AERONAUTICAL DATA

 

A. AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication)
AIP used by INDOAVIS in generating AC-ICAO-1: 500,000 is eAIP Bahrain web address (http://bahrainaims.com/aisjan2014/2014-02-06-AIRAC/html/index-en-BH.html), with effective 06 FEB 2014 Issued by the State Kingdom of Bahrain

B. POINT DATA REFERENCES
Source data Aerodrome (ARP), Navigation Aids (VORDME, NDB, VORTAC) Aerodrome and Runway Elevation and dimension of data are obtained from AIP , the recorded airports are as much as 7 (Seven) Airports that is:

1. (OBBI) BAHRAIN INTERNATIONAL (06 FEB 2014)

2. (OBBS) BAHRAIN / ISA AIRBASE (06 FEB 2014)

Note: For airport DHAHRAN (Saudi Arabia) and Dalma (United Arab Emirates) are obtained from WAC-ICAO map sources code 2547, 2004 Bahrain scale 1:1,000,000. Navigation and maps contained in the AIP PDF files, such as: Aerodrome Index Chart, Radio Facility Index chart, Area Chart Edition 9.1.2014

 

C. POLYGON DATA REFERENCES
For data sources, and special use airspace, the Airspace Data are taken from ENR5.1 AIP-2 s / d 1-4, ENR 2.1 FIR, UIR, TMA, CTA edition of 6 February 2014, and for terminals acquired from the AD 2:17 Airspace ATS airspace at each respective airports.

TOPOGRAPHICAL DATA
Topographic data (Roads, shore lines, lakes, residential areas, network power voltage and political map) obtained from the QATAR GIS PORTAL, (geoportal.gisqatar.or . a ma inde .html ) with tracking on a digitized reference map of the Google Earth satellite image, by projecting the appearance of the objects were visible on satellite images.

A. ELEVATION DATA
Elevation data (contours), spot high, MEF (Minimum Elevation Figure) image and DEM (digital elevation model) is processed using the SRTM 30m Satellite Data, issued by NASA.
Data of Obstacles are retrieved from the AIP Bahrain source, page AD 2:10 Aerodrome obstacles, at any airport within a radius of each aerodrome circling the area.
