Use cases and requirements
4.18 Green aircraft/fuel, noise, carbon footprint
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.
User groups • AOC;
• Crew training;
• Maintenance/MRO;
• Airline/operator finance department.
Benefit • Improved flight operations;
• High reliability for A/C dispatch;
• Accurate aircraft information;
• Fuel savings.
Required data • All fuel-related data, APU-related data, engines-related data – fuel consumption, OOOI
times, slat/flap data, etc.
Data sources • QAR;
• DFDR.
Special considerations Data security, integrity and reliability.
Amount of data Very nominal payload.
Transmission interval Performance criteria.
Transmission technologies VHF, satellite, WiFi, WGL, GSM. The protocols are typically ACARS, SatCom and IP based.
4.19 Information for R&D
Description Collect, analyse and store (tamper-proof collection of flight data) aircraft data.
Scenario The pertinent data from the aircraft can be obtained for analysis to R&D purposes.
User groups • OEMs;
• Safety boards;
• Civil aviation authorities (CAAs), FAAs, EASA;
• Maintenance/MRO.
Benefit • Better practices, systems optimization through data analysis and data mining.
Required data • All fuel-related data, APU-related data, engines-related data – fuel consumption, OOOI
times, flight controls, slat/flap data, etc.
Data sources • Any data from the aircraft.
Special considerations Data security, integrity and reliability.
Amount of data Nominal payload.
Transmission interval Post flight.
Transmission technologies VHF, satellite, WiFi, WGL, GSM. The protocols are typically ACARS, SatCom and IP based.
