ITU-T Focus Group on Aviation Applications of Cloud Computing for Flight Data Monitoring
Use cases and requirements
Required data Various aircraft systems, engine systems data.
Data sources • CMC;
• ACMS;
• Maintenance panel;
• QAR;
• DFDR.
Special considerations Data security, integrity and reliability.
Amount of data Very nominal payload.
Transmission interval In real time or during events such as top-of-descent or touch-down.
Transmission technologies VHF, satellite. The protocols are typically ACARS, SatCom and IP based.
4.6 Crew scheduling
Description Provide real-time instantaneous (tamper-proof collection of flight data) aircraft departure,
arrival and en-route information to AOC, crew scheduling.
Scenario The pertinent data from FMC can be routed to AOC, crew scheduling using real-time systems.
The airline can use the available real-time data to detect deviation from the schedule. The
aircraft assignments of the crews can be updated accordingly.
User groups • AOC;
• Crew scheduling;
• Airline/operator finance department.
Benefit • Improved flight operations;
• High reliability for A/C dispatch;
• Accurate aircraft information.
Required data • Position reports.
• Any data that contains aircraft out, off, on, in (OOOI) times.
Data sources • FMC;
• DFDR;
• AOC reports;
• ADS-B/ADS-C.
Special considerations Data security, integrity and reliability.
Amount of data Very nominal payload.
Transmission interval Performance criteria.
Transmission technologies VHF, satellite. The protocols are typically ACARS, SatCom and IP based.
4.7 Fuel optimization
Description Collect, analyse and store (tamper-proof collection of flight data) fuel-related aircraft data.
Scenario The pertinent data from the aircraft can be obtained for analysis to optimize fuel consump-
tion, pilot techniques, and maintenance practices.
