JavaScript Cli for convert .aip files from OpenAIP to GeoJSON files.
yarn install &&\
node index.js --input PATH/TO/DIRECTORY/OF/AIP/FILES --output PATH/TO/DIRECTORY/OF/GEOJSON/FILES
node index.js --input example_files/input/ --output example_files/output/
Following the RFC 7946, all files are following the GeoJSON structure defined by IETF.
All datas are divided into separate files :
- airports.geojson,
- airspaces.geojson,
- hotspots.geojson,
- navaids.geojson,
- runways.geojson
Each of those is a FeatureCollection, containing the datas. Actually, apart from airspaces, all datas are Points (airspaces are Polygons).
Even if not in used at the moment, a guid property is given for each geographical information.
- Coordinates (
[longitude, latitude]
) in decimal degrees, - Elevation (
elev
) in decimal meters, - Frequencies in MHz (MegaHertz).

This parser uses :
Since this little parser is just a parser, and is not providing any datas - examples are just examples, don't trust those -, the datas are not qualified to be use instead of official sources (following aeronautical rules, you must have datas provided officially).
