In the past, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been extensively applied to the management of
various forms of ground based transportation, such as highway and rail. No large-scale applications of
GIS technology have been applied to the management of civil and military aviation. This paper will
discuss a GIS application that provides data and support to the Canadian Automated Air Traffic System
(CAATS) currently under development by Hughes Aircraft of Canada. It will discuss the unique spatial
problems involved in the world of aviation, focussing on the issues raised in the design of Air Traffic
Control (ATC) systems.
