Introduction to arcpyproduction.aviation

Available with Production Mapping license.

arcpyproduction.aviation is a Python module that is part of the ArcPyProduction site package installed with Esri Production Mapping. The arcpyproduction.aviation module contains two submodules: arcpyproduction.aviation.airports and arcpyproduction.aviation.charting. It is installed with the Production Mapping desktop product, which is available with ArcGIS for Desktop Standard and requires ArcGIS for Aviation: Airports or ArcGIS for Aviation: Charting to access the functions.

At the root level of the module are two functions that allow you to import AIXM data into a geodatabase with the AIS schema.
