Use cases and requirements
4.16 Airspace optimization
Description Collection of aircraft movement data to analyse and optimize the airspace.
Scenario The detailed aircraft position data can be used to optimize the airspace for en-route traffic
and approach/departure traffic. Air routes can be modified, as well as the departure and
arrival vectors. ATC processes can be enhanced.
User groups • AOC;
• ATC.
Benefit • Increase in A/C safety;
• 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.
4.17 Flight information display system
Description Collect and store (tamper-proof collection of flight data) arrival/departure timings.
Scenario To be used for passengers and other authorities for aircraft arrivals and departures.
User groups • ATC;
• Airport authorities;
• Passengers;
• Flight operations – planning, crew scheduling;
• Maintenance/MRO.
Benefit • Accurate reporting of aircraft arrivals and departures for various operational uses.
Required data • All OOOI times.
Data sources • QAR;
• DFDR;
• AOC reports.
Special considerations Data security, integrity and reliability.
Amount of data Nominal payload.
Transmission interval When required – based on triggered events and transmissions – like take-off and landing times.
Transmission technologies VHF, satellite, WiFi, WGL, GSM. The protocols are typically ACARS, SatCom and IP based.
