Airspace & Aeronautical Information Management
Rodger Dean, Director of System Operations Airspace and AIM (Acting) |
The Airspace and Airspace Information Management (AIM) Directorate provides products, services and support across a broad and diverse range of programs, both directly to aviation stakeholders and internally within the FAA. The organization manages many of the air navigation service provision activities that involve multiple Air Traffic Organization Service Units. The Airspace Management portion of the directorate develops the rules, policy and standards for airspace allocation and route structure, manages environmental analysis of proposed changes, manages the airspace’s route and sectorization design, develops RNAV/RNP standards and procedures, manages Unmanned Aircraft System authorizations to operate in the NAS and manages the maintenance, publication and distribution of Flight Information Publications and operational Handbooks. The AIM portion of the directorate manages the aeronautical information used by stakeholders to describe the NAS, provides timely updates on changes and component outages and supports analysis of NAS use and design. Key elements support aeronautical charting, flight information directories, analysis of how obstructions impact to air navigation and the repository of historical operational flight track and air traffic management information. |
