Given that consistency among aircraft performance models used in air and ground applications is paramount, it is of interest to compare and assess the detailed output of the different performance models against the aircraft manufacturer’s reference data. To that effect Eurocontrol has placed a contract to develop the Aircraft Performance Evaluation Platform, PAMPA [1]. The final delivery of the platform is scheduled for December 2004. The platform has an Applications Program Interface for the Eurocontrol BADA, CFMU and GAME, the NASA-CTAS model and CENA models.
This optional work package comprises the following tasks:
|
|
|
5.1 PAMPA interface development |
Development of an interface of a typical aircraft performance model used in new generation FMSs to the PAMPA platform. The wrapping software may encapsulate the internal algorithms and coefficient sets of the model.
|
|
|
5.2 Performance model evaluation |
The evaluation of this model against the performance models already interfaced to the PAMPA platform.
|
|
|
5.3. Evaluation and recommendations. |
The deliverables of optional work package 5 consists of a document that reports on
- The technical issues encountered when implementing the interface.
- A summary of the evaluation results.
- Conclusions and recommendations.
|
|
|
3.2. Key performance indicators for trajectory intent description methodologies |
Define a matrix of key performance indicators related to intent modeling approaches for the different ATM applications.
|
|
|
3.3. Mapping of KPIs for intent description methodologies |
Map the methodologies against the matrix of key performance indicators
|
|
|
3.4. Qualification of trajectory intent methodologies |
A given methodology to model the aircraft intent is directly related to the methods and algorithms applied in the Trajectory Engine that computes the trajectory. In this work package a qualified evaluation is produced of on the expected performance that can be achieved when using the various trajectory intent description methodologies and the consequences for the design and performance of the associated Trajectory Engine. Issues to be considered include:
- input requirements,
- estimated processing effort to build the Flight Script data from flight plan information and supporting databases (e.g. adaptation data, aircraft performance models, etc.)
- estimated processing effort for trajectory calculation by the Trajectory Engine,
- expected accuracy that can be obtained.
|
|
|
3.5. Evaluation and recommendations |
Summarize the above findings in a list of recommendations to better harmonize the modeling of aircraft intent both in air and ground based Trajectory Predictors. Consider various combinations of use of static databases and real-time communication through air-ground datalink. Identify the datalink performance requirements in terms of response time and communication capacity.
