Overview
INSTRUMENT FLIGHT PROCEDURE DESIGN is a suite of CGX AERO software modules dedicated to the design, management and verification of instrument flight procedures, aeronautical data management, cartography and airspace design. The suite includes branded modules (GéoTITAN®, Data4Flight®, AIP-GIS Charting® and Airspace4Flight®) addressing specific phases of procedure design and aeronautical data workflows.

Data4Flight®
Data4Flight® is an aeronautical data management solution with an intuitive interface to maximize operator efficiency and ensure interoperability for aeronautical data exchange.

• Centralized AIXM 5.1-extended database: standalone or server mode (PostgreSQL or SQLite).
• Import/export of multiple formats and standards: AIXM 4.5/5.1, ARINC 424, ARINC 816.
• Interoperability with GéoTITAN®, AIP-GIS Charting®, AIM4Flight® and Thales TopSky®.
• 2D and 3D environment visualization for spatial verification.
• Integrated business rule engine with predefined rulesets (ADQ, AIXM, ARINC 424) and support for custom rules.
• Automated exports: generation of Flight Procedure Design technical reports in Excel and Word formats.

GéoTITAN®
GéoTITAN® is an expert application focused on automated creation and management of conventional and RNAV IFR trajectories and their protection zones.

• Database-driven workflows minimizing manual steps.
• User interface optimized for procedure design and geographic context.
• Data quality and consistency checks integrated in the process.
• Automated geodesic computations using WGS84.
• Automated calculation of protection areas and minimum altitudes from obstacles and digital terrain models (DTM).
• Automated regulatory checks and flexible design through configurable templates.
• Native interoperability with AIXM 4.5/5.1 and Data4Flight® / AIM4Flight®.

AIP-GIS Charting®
AIP-GIS Charting® is a cartography application for editing, updating and publishing civil and military aeronautical charts in compliance with ICAO Annex 4.

• Advanced chart production built on ArcGIS (ESRI).
• Direct linkage to the AIXM central database to preserve data integrity.
• Cartographic tools: temporality management, feature creation and data-driven elements (off-view trajectories, profile views, dynamic tables).
• Product management: charts and templates document management, symbol library, advanced labeling and rule-based symbol/text generation.
• Quality control: automatic detection of changed features and impacted charts, report generation and workflow management.
• Templates: pre-configured ICAO Annex 4 templates and customizable templates for specific cartographic requirements.

Airspace4Flight®
Airspace4Flight® enables design and editing of airspace structures and route tracks directly within the Data4Flight® database. It validates airspace and en-route attributes against aeronautical data business rules and provides analysis to comply with ICAO design recommendations (Annex 11) and ICAO Doc 8168 Vol.2.
