Aeronautical Charting - Produce detailed Aeronautical Charts accompanied by tabulation pages, textual descriptions, and supplementary information for submission to the SACAA or external clients. Produce charts for publication in accordance with ICAO SARPS (Standards and Recommended Practices) to ensure the safe operation of aircraft. Design and maintain charts for Instrument Approach Flight Procedures, SID, STAR, Enroute and Aerodromes for the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package as per ICAO Annex 4, Annex 15, including ICAO DOC 8168 Vol II and ICAO DOC 9906 criteria. Design and maintain Radar Terrain Charts. Share Aeronautical Charts Data in AIXM format. Maintain RSA Instrument Flight Procedure, SID, STAR and Enroute and Aerodromes charts on the Cartography Database. Maintain current RSA published Topographical/Aeronautical Maps database as per AP020. Liaise and consult with clients regarding the development of aeronautical charts. Conduct research into new technology, Instrument Flight Procedure developments and Aeronautical Charting advancements. Design and maintain aeronautical charts to meet Dept of Transport KPIs which include draft charts during design phase, up to and including the final chart version for publication in the Integrated Aeronautical Information Publication (IAIP). Update Cartography Database using AIXM snapshots from CAD and AeroDB Database as per SLA. Maintain Aeronautical Supplementary Database (ASD) on the Cartography Database e.g. Digital Terrain Model (DTM) raster/format, and Contours Vector Terrain data. Maintain aeronautical charts in the Integrated Aeronautical Information Publication (IAIP) in compliance with Part 177 CATS. Implement NOTAM and Supplement chart amendments procedural and non-procedural from AIS office daily reports. Review initial and final draft charts (peer review). Remain knowledgeable with respect to all ICAO developments in flight procedure design and AIM.

AIM consulting and client interaction - Communicate charting services available to potential and existing clients as per AP020.Provide a charting design consultation service to clients when required.
