ODSODS
• Generic service delivery platform• Based on service oriented architecture principles• SWIM enabler• ODS project will deliver a flight plan filing service• Flight model and information exchange is FIXM

ODS and FIXMODS and FIXM• Adopted FIXM v0.1 early 2012• Complex, immature
• Migrated to FIXM v1.0 August 2012• ICAO FPL, perfect fit, some issues
• Migrated to FIXM v1.1 January 2013• Defect fixes, maturity
• Migrating to FIXM v2.0 now• Major restructure, no FPL focus
5
SARTIME• Time at which search and rescue activities
are initiated• Similar concepts in Canada and New Zealand
Itineraries• A sequence of time ordered flights• Could be all movements of a specific
airframe• Could be all flights the pilot will conduct• AIDX has itinerary concept

• FIXM operations is the end goal• There will be a considerable transition
period• Necessary to handle both FIXM and ICAO
4444 ATS messaging• Accept FIXM, distribute FPL• Accept FPL, store/distribute as FIXM• More generally situation being pursued by
ATMRPP via FF-ICE

Is early adoption worth it?Is early adoption worth it?
• Model developed by broad spectrum of international partners
• Early experience invaluable• FIXM enabled systems earlier• Progress with flight matching issues
11
• Services are not in scope for FIXM• Airservices are developing their own set of
services• FIXM needs standardized services• ISRM (Information Services Reference Model)
will address this, but some way off• We need standardized services in the shorter
term for interoperability

12
• FIXM progress has been rapid• Unusual for a global standard• Positive effect on implementers• The momentum has to continue• Strategy/governance must facilitate progress• v3.0, first sufficiently complete version for
global exchange
