SCOPE AND PURPOSE

The first edition of PANS-IM contains requirements supporting the transition towards a global air navigation system network as described in the Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP, Doc 9750). The focus of this first edition is on information services for ground-to-ground information exchanges based on the principles, benefits and components described in the Manual on the System-wide Information Management Concept (Doc 10039) to establish SWIM as a key enabler of the Global Air Traffic Management Operational Concept (Doc 9854). The PANS-IM is supplemented, when necessary, by regional procedures contained in the Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc 7030).

Note.— The transition towards a global air navigation system network, as described in the GANP (Doc 9750), requires the air navigation system to become increasingly automated, digitalized and interconnected where information management and the use of information play a particularly important role in the evolution of the air navigation system and global interoperability.

Building on an Internet Protocol Suite (IPS)-based communications infrastructure, a key objective of SWIM is to ensure interoperable information exchange between all air traffic management (ATM) stakeholders. To this end, the procedures contained in this document are generic and applicable to all information domains and guidance for the implementation and transition to SWIM can be found in the Manual on System-wide Information Management Implementation (Doc 10203). Information domains may specify additional SWIM requirements, such as addressing aeronautical information, meteorological information, and flight and flow information, to complement the generic SWIM requirements included in this document.

This first edition of PANS-IM also includes requirements for an information security framework to have a common understanding on the level of protection of the information and to provide end-to-end information security in a scalable approach.
