Additional Information Elements
- Discrete identification code that provides precise location and identity
information
- All necessary information to initiate search and rescue for VFR flights
- Flight profile to replace today's flight plan
- User's preferred flight path or
- More detailed time-based flight trajectory
- Information to support flight planning
- Internationally coordinated trajectory
- Information to improve trajectory modeling
- Departure
- More accurate actual departure times
- Takeoff weights
- En route
- Improved information describing controller intent (for example,
vector maneuvers and speed)
- Flight intent and user preferences (for example, user constraints
that drive filed flight intent; user flight intent as if flight
were to be unconstrained, such as planned turn, speed, and speed
gradient profiles; and user preferences for handling flight
constraints, such as severe weather areas)
- Improved aircraft performance data
- Knowledge of aircraft weight
- Traffic flow management
- Improved information describing controller intent (for example,
vector maneuvers and speed)
- Pilot intent (for example, planned turn, speed, and speed
gradient profiles)

Potential Benefits for Sharing Flight Object
Information
As the NAS evolves towards the future concepts, new capabilities will
be introduced to support the ATM service providers in the different domains
of the NAS. In addition to assisting the service providers in better managing
their workload, these capabilities will support collaboration with the
NAS users (see associated issues).
Many of these capabilities will use various types of information associated
with flights in the NAS, and as a result, they are likely to operate using
some of the same information elements. A flight object can be introduced
to facilitate the sharing of common flight information elements among
the various capabilities (see associated
issue). Sharing common information elements using the flight object
has a number of potential advantages:
- Improved accuracy and availability of flight information updates
- Improved consistency of flight planning in different domains and a
smoother transition of flights between domains
- Enhanced availability of user preferences for real-time planning and
recorded history information for post-analysis processing
- Improved effectiveness of on-going traffic management initiatives
and the associated collaborative decision making process
- Enhanced ability of service provider to issue traffic advisories to
controlled aircraft about uncontrolled aircraft and to provide flight
following services for aircraft flying Visual Flight Rules (VFR)
