The 'navigation database,' which was processed by KEYVAN Aviation and required extensive R&D, contains more than 26,000 airports, 33,000 runways, airlines, navigational aids, waypoints, and procedures, and restricted and prohibited areas. Data processing and quality controls are carried out according to the international standard ED-76A (D0-200B} and ED-77 (D0-201B), while data requirements are provided in accordance with EU Regulation 2017/373 and EASA Type 1 DAT Provider Certificate, which only 4 companies in the world have. Keyvan Aviation implements Data Quality Requirements (DQR) and Aviation Information Processing Procedures to process the data and create the final version of the ARINC 424 database. Each update goes through the quality system to ensure it meets EU Regulation 2017/373 as well as RTCA D0-200 and EUROCAE ED-76, and the final result contains the most up-to-date, complete, and reliable information available according to government publications.
