Becoming a Certified QGIS Trainer for Aviation related Topics
Interestingly a lot of people ask about QGIS training for aviation and finally decided to take the plunge and become certified

QGIS is a powerful open-source GIS software used for charting. With its ability to create detailed maps of flight paths, airport layouts, and support flight planning and navigation, QGIS supports a range of data formats, making it an accessible and cost-effective tool producing aeronautical charts. Explore the power of open-source solutions for aeronautical charting with QGIS that we intend to provide.
I did a YouTube video no how you can read AIXM 5.1 vertical structures, which is where the obstacle data is stored. As more countries start releasing their data in formats like AIXM there is an increasing need to be able to read the format and extract the relevant information. Read more…
I was going through some old video material I had in my cloud drive to make up for more space when I found this gem of a video. It brought back so many memories including my starts with the Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) and how to be able to Read more…
AIM for a virtual Meetup – Global AIM 2021, in this episode I go over the whole program and even ask some questions before hearing the topics just to set the tone

There are some things I wish were done with the eAIP to make it better and more useful not only for users but for publishing AIM staff
The eAIP or electronic aeronautical information publication is a huge improvement over the previous paper only version, it may not seem to be that way as we are still producing a paper-like version in PDF but it does bring us closer to the goal of becoming digital first. In this episode I’m going to be talking about “The Five things I wished for better eAIP use” this is the AIM 101 podcast “Bringing a different perspective about AIM” my name is Antonio Locandro and welcome to the show

How to leverage QML files in QGIS to style layers, in particular this use case deals with AIXM from the aviation domain but can be extended really to any other field
AIMIND is short for Aeronautical Information Management Integrated data, it is not a system but an attempt to free from PDF information that can be instead be used in a machine readable alternative, the intention is to provide in csv format those tables currently siloed within PDF so that they can be downloaded and added to any system you can create or just open up with your favorite spreadsheet viewer and run a search on it.
If you are using QGIS for aviation you may not have aeronautical symbology or styles, this is my first share of a Restricted Area style for using in your charts.
Thoughts on building an AIM community even if we are apart through more collaboration, interaction and exchanging ideas.
