ITU-T Focus Group on Aviation Applications of Cloud Computing for Flight Data Monitoring
Use cases and requirements

Data sources • ADS-B (traditional and via satellite) or Mode-S transceiver.
• ADS-C.
• FMC messages including the required data.
• Airline operational communication (AOC) position reports.
• Dedicated positioning system.
• Flight data streaming/flight operational quality assurance (FOQA) streaming.
(Additional source, but not from A/C data: primary radar).

Special considerations Access control to the data because it can reveal sensitive operational and economical details
of the airlines.
Security mechanisms to avoid and detect misuse of the system or false data injection.
Amount of data Depends on interval and data set. Flight tracking data is usually very small and can be sent
through short burst data (SBD) messages.
Transmission interval Performance criteria.

Transmission technologies Technologies are available as of today. Current technologies have sufficient capabilities for
tracking, sending alerts, and a few parameters.
