Enav provides Aeronautical Information Services to flight crew by collecting, disseminating and updating information over the whole of Italy.
Essential aeronautical information is disseminated as per European (EU), national (ENAC) and international (ICAO) regulations via the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package (IAIP), which consists of:
Essential aeronautical information is disseminated as per European (EU), national (ENAC) and international (ICAO) regulations via the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package (IAIP), which consists of:
- AIP and related amendments;
- AIP supplements;
- NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) and PIB (Pre-flight Information Bulletin);
- AIC (Aeronautical Information Circular);
- Check list and list of current NOTAMs.
Enav uses a highly automated system to optimise the management of aeronautical information and ensure that this is available in the most appropriate format to all interested parties.
Specifically, all NOTAMs are shared through the Aeronautical Fixed Service (AFS) and converge in Enav’s AOIS (Aeronautical Operational Information System) database, the AISAS (Aeronautical Information Services Automated System) subsystem, now based on WEB technology.
Enav’s two ARO-CBOs (ATS Reporting Office - Central Briefing Office), located in Rome and Milan, provide crew with flight documentation, prepared according to the validated flight profile, in accordance with the Flight Plan (FPL) presented. The documentation contains the collection of both current NOTAMs and SNOWTAMs as PIBs (Pre Flight Information Bulletins), regarding pertinent operating information for the assigned flight route, as well as meteorological documentation including weather bulletins and warnings, forecast charts of weather phenomena, winds and temperatures at different altitudes.
Meteorology documentation is prepared using an AOIS subsystem called AMIAS (Aeronautical Meteorological Information Automated System) for generating messages regarding weather bulletins and warnings, as well as forecast maps with data supplied by SADIS through the FTP communications network with WAFC in London.
Additionally, since 2009, Enav has used an automated handling system for producing AIPs and for updating the EAD (European AIS Database).

AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION PUBLICATION (AIP)
AIP Italia is Enav’s publication containing static aeronautical information, such as national airspace, airports, the organisation of air traffic services and infrastructure. The data is aimed at all users of air navigation and especially airlines, who must necessarily have updated copies.
This publication, annually subscribed, is updated with periodic amendments cadenced up to 1 every 14 days , as specified by ICAO’s - International Civil Aviation Organization - Annex no. 15. Each country’s AIP must specify:

- the applicable regulations .
Aeronautical Operational Information System
Enav manages its own IT centre known as AOIS (Aeronautical Operational Information System), which supports principally ACCs and Italian airports over which Enav provides air navigation services.
The entire aeronautical community (including the Air Force, airlines, aeronautics handling companies and aeronautical authorities) use the information provided by AOIS, via web access as well as through the two central offices at Rome Fiumicino and Milan Linate.
