Key findings, recommendations for next steps and future work

on-time performance. The processes, algorithms and information technology (IT)-systems for real-time flight
data monitoring are currently not available and need to be developed.

4.3 Deliverable 4

This initial Report examines the feasibility of using recent developments in commercial aeronautical data
link services, as well as reusing existing infrastructure, for real-time flight data streaming where appropriate.

The initial findings are that there are a range of existing technology capabilities that can be utilized that have
existing avionic and regulatory approval and are consistent with the findings of the Aircraft Tracking Task Force
(ATTF) and GADSS. In addition, there is a commercial evolution path with new technologies that are being
progressed which also are consistent with the findings of ATTF and GADSS.
The analysis conducted also suggests that the original concept of black box in the cloud is a limiting term in
that real-time streaming has a broader relevance and meaning as there are a variety of technology solutions
that could be implemented.
The report also concludes that while this is a valuable source document, there are a number of actions which
could be progressed and these are outlines in the recommendations section of Deliverable 4 report.
