A named geographical location used in defining an ATS route, the flight path of an aircraft or for other navigation or ATS purposes. [FIXM]
The coded designator of a designated point is not always sufficient for unambiguously referring to that feature:
The 5-letter coded designator of a waypoint is supposed to be unique world-wide (according to ICAO Annex 11), but in reality it is not.
The combinations of fields that would make the references unique are name + position.
This FIXM class adds an optional properties 'position' which may be used as a complement to the 'name' information in order to remove any ambiguity on the coded designator.
The name of the designated point.
An extension hook for attaching extension (non-core) classes.
The values of latitude and longitude that define the position of the Designated Point on the surface of the Earth with respect to a reference datum. [specialised from ICAO Doc 9881]
This optional field may be used to achieve unambiguous reference to the designated point.
The combinations of fields that would make the reference unique are name + position.
Provides an optional mechanism enabling FIXM aeronautical fields to be supplemented with references to AIXM features. This field should be considered functionally equivalent to the xlink:href field used in AIXM to reference features. [FIXM]

The coded designator of a navaid is not always sufficient for unambiguously referring to that feature:
The en-route navaids (VOR, DME, NDB) designator is supposed to be unique (according to ICAO Annex 11) within 600 NM. This means that these designators are not unique world-wide. For airport navaids, there is no limitation.
The combinations of fields that would make the references unique are designator + position + navaid service type.
This FIXM class adds two optional properties 'position' and 'navaidServiceType' which may be used as a complement to the 'designator' information in order to remove any ambiguity on the coded designator.
The name of the navaid.

The values of latitude and longitude that define the position of the Navaid on the surface of the Earth with respect to a reference datum. [specialised from ICAO Doc 9881]
This optional field may be used to achieve unambiguous reference to the navaid.
The combinations of fields that would make the reference unique are name + position + navaid service type.
Provides an optional mechanism enabling FIXM aeronautical fields to be supplemented with references to AIXM features. This field should be considered functionally equivalent to the xlink:href field used in AIXM to reference features. [FIXM]
Bearing and distance from a reference point. [ICAO Doc 4444, Appendix 2, ITEM 15]
This FIXM class adds one optional property 'position' which may be used as a complement to the bearing, distance and reference point information in order to provide the computed position of the relative point, if available.
The radius from a chosen Navaid
Distance from the chosen Navaid to the Intersection.
An extension hook for attaching extension (non-core) classes.

Provides an optional mechanism enabling FIXM aeronautical fields to be supplemented with references to AIXM features. This field should be considered functionally equivalent to the xlink:href field used in AIXM to reference features. [FIXM]
A reference to a SID or a STAR. [FIXM]
A shortened designator of the SID or STAR. [FIXM] This abbreviated designator is based on ARINC 424 chapter 7.4 rules.
