AIP data set publication
On behalf of the Dutch Caribbean countries — Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba (BES islands) — we publish our AIP data set using the Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM)** standard to provide structured, interoperable, and system-readable aeronautical data.
Our AIP dataset is released in accordance with the AIRAC cycle, ensuring that updates are aligned with the internationally established schedule for aeronautical information changes. This enables data users to plan, validate, and integrate updates in a predictable and harmonized manner.
To support aviation data integrity requirements, our digital datasets include cryptographic checksums (SHA-256 hashes***). In accordance with standards from the International Civil Aviation Organization (Annex 15 §3.4 and Doc 10066 §2.2), digital data error-detection techniques shall be used to ensure the integrity of aeronautical information during storage and transmission.

** Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM)
AIXM is an internationally recognized standard for the digital representation and exchange of aeronautical information. It provides a common data model to describe aeronautical features such as airspace, aerodromes, navigation aids, routes, procedures, and their associated properties in a structured, machine-readable way.
AIXM was originally developed to support digital aeronautical information exchange within Europe and has since evolved into a widely adopted international specification. The model is maintained through a collaborative process involving the AIXM community and is governed via a formal change management structure to ensure stability, interoperability, and controlled evolution of the standard.
AIXM is designed to support the transition from paper-based aeronautical information to digital, data-centric Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) and to enable consistent data exchange between systems and organizations. Additional information about AIXM, its specification, and supporting material can be found at the following official resources:
- AIXM Official Website ( https://www.aixm.aero/ )
- EUROCONTROL AIXM Community & Documentation (Confluence) ( https://ext.eurocontrol.int/aixm_confluence/ )
*** SHA-256 hashes
A hash function creates a unique digital fingerprint for each file. Even a single character change will produce a completely different hash, making any corruption or tampering immediately detectable. Hashes are not encryption — they do not conceal the contents of a file; they only allow verification that the file has not been altered. While it is theoretically possible for two different inputs to produce the same hash (a collision), modern hash algorithms such as SHA-256 make this extremely unlikely due to their large hash size. In fact, you would need to generate roughly 1038 different files before a collision becomes likely—far more than the number of files anyone could ever realistically create. These techniques help ensure that aeronautical data remains complete, accurate, and unmodified throughout storage, processing, and exchange.
