[Discontinued] FAA AIXM 5 Viewer

December 2019: This AIXM 5 Viewer launcher was developed using a Java and was started with a Java applet. This configuration is no longer supported by the recent browser versions and it is considered unsafe. Therefore, this free AIXM 5 Viewer is no longer available. This page is kept here for information and it will be completely removed in February 2020. Instead, please use one of the other AIXM 5 free viewers.

The AIXM 5 Viewer is an application developed by Luciad for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The goal of the application is to offer a free solution for quickly visualising AIXM 5.0 and AIXM 5.1 data.

The AIXM 5 Viewer provides 2D and 3D visualization. After loading any compliant AIXM 5 file, users can see the data mapped onto a virtual earth, customize the visualization, navigate through the wide set of properties of AIXM 5 features, compare multiple features, and play back the state of data at concrete time positions according to AIXM 5’s extensive temporality model. Additionally the application supports the visualization of image data in the GeoTIFF format and vector data in the SHP format. Combined with an intuitive, easy-to-learn User Interface and a web-based one-click installation process, the AIXM 5 Viewer allows users to efficiently view and manage aeronautical information.

The AIXM 5 Viewer is delivered as a Java Web Start application. You can start it by opening the AIXM Viewer launch page (see link below) and clicking on the Launch button that corresponds to your configuration. Please also read the User Manual.

Note that access to the AIXM Viewer is restricted: only available for the AIXM Forum members! However, AIXM Forum membership is free and open to all stakeholders. Please see the "Join the AIXM Forum" link below.
