Management of data

With ArcGIS Aviation Charting, you can do the following:

• Manage aviation information in a central geodatabase and produce multiple products in an enterprise environment.
• Access, manage, and share datasets securely in an enterprise environment that provides accessibility and scalability for multiple users.
• Use a logically designed aviation data model to organize features, attributes, metadata, symbology rules, labeling properties, and data integrity checks in a geodatabase.
• Use the same data for traditional products, products on demand, 3D visualization, and other web services.
• Use a suite of ArcGIS Pro tools in addition to a suite of GIS tools provided for editing, visualizing (cartography), and analyzing information.
• Archive and retrieve historical changes to features.
• Use customized editing tools to streamline aviation data-editing operations that are reflected on all related products.

Extension of visualization capabilities

Visualize your data in 2D and 3D to gain insight into your airport operations infrastructure in relation to the surrounding environment. Synthesize and analyze complex 3D airspace management issues to support planning and risk mitigation activities.

Licensing

The ArcGIS Aviation Charting extension is available for ArcGIS Pro 2.0 and later.

You need the ArcGIS Pro Standard level to use this extension. The ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension license is required if you are working with LAS data. For a list of the tools and licensing levels required to run them, refer to the ArcGIS Aviation licensing page.
