Mapping information for DAFIF and AIS data models

The Import DAFIF Shapefiles Into AIS Geodatabase tool can be used to import Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF) data into the AIS data model. This tool uses cross-reference mapping files to import the data into the proper location in the AIS schema.

Note:

Mapping files are already created to import from DAFIF to AIS. They can be found in the following install directory location:

• For 32-bit Windows operating systems—<Installation location>\Program Files\ArcGIS\AviationCharting\10.3\DataExchange\AIXM\Importer\DAFIF
• For 64-bit Windows operating systems—<Installation location>\Program Files(x86)\ArcGIS\AviationCharting\10.3\DataExchange\AIXM\Importer\DAFIF

The following table indicates which DAFIF shapefile imports into which AIS feature class. This information is controlled by the entries in the DafifTableMappings.txt file that also contains information about which field is used as the client key, for the mapping.

DAFIF shapefile	AIS feature class
ARPT	ADHP
GEN	ADDRESS
RUNWAY	ADHPSURFACEAREA
ORTCA	CLEARANCE
ATSH	ATSROUTE
ATSL	ATSROUTE
WPTH_P	DESIGNATEDPOINT
WPTL_P	DESIGNATEDPOINT
WPTT_P	DESIGNATEPOINT
ACOM	SERVICE
ACOMRM	CALLSIGN
BDRYHP	AIRSPACE
BDRYLP	AIRSPACE
SUASHP	AIRSPACE
SUASLP	AIRSPACE
NAVH	NAVAIDCOMPONENT
NAVL	NAVAIDCOMPONENT
NAVT	NAVAIDCOMPONENT
HLPT	ADHP

Additional mapping files also control:

• Which DAFIF field is mapped within the target feature class using the entries in the DafifFieldMappings.txt file.
• Which domain values are mapped from DAFIF to domain values in the AIS, using the entries in the DafifDomainMappings.json file.
