Charting Data API: Aeronautical Charting for Seamless Navigation

The same data that powers Lido Charts & Pilot Applications at a glance.

Access More than 3.5 Million objects worldwide

The Navigation database that powers the Lido Charting Data APIs contains more than 3.5 million objects and is constantly growing.

All known official state sources are covered, such as Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP) and NOTAMs.

Always up-to-date

The obstacle database is updated each AIRAC cycle and always up-to-date.

Obstacle information is published in widely varying formats and degrees of detail. Standardized coding rules are applied to each obstacle to ensure consistency of the data across all sources. 

Lido Quality Guaranteed

Quality checks are performed throughout the coding process to ensure the highest quality and correctness of the database.

The data is processed and coded according to ARINC-424 standards and following ICAO and EASA guidelines.

Get Waypoints, NavAids and Airways by Identifier, Label* or World Reference ID

Lookup by search pattern

This endpoint allows retrieval of Waypoint, NavAid or Airway objects by Name or Country via a partial or full text search.

Querying Airspace data by AIRAC cycle and pagination features are also available on this endpoint.

Lookup by label

*For Airway objects, search by label / identifier is available. Response returns a list of segments for a particular airway a MultiLineString objects according to geoJson specification.

Querying Airspace data by AIRAC cycle and pagination features are also available on this endpoint.

Get closest objects

For both Waypoint and NavAid data, it is possible to retrieve closest objects based on a query by geographic coordinates (Lat, Long). A maximum of 50 objects in the vicinity of the lookup coordinate can be retrieved. Distance between the lookup point and the object in response can also be easily computed.

Querying Airspace data by AIRAC cycle and pagination features are also available on this endpoint.
