Common Elements
|
* All capabilities accessing the flight object will have
read-only access to aircraft identifier, aircraft type,
equipment in use, unique equipment-specific data link
address, and computer identifier.
* * Flight object
work in progress.
|
| Capability provides one or more shared information
elements to flight object |
 |
Capability uses one or more information elements
from flight object |
|
|
This diagram lists the information elements that are common to more than
one capability in the middle of the chart:
- Candidates for information sharing among the FFP1 capabilities (see
associated issue)
- Not expected that sharing will be implemented until the beyond FFP2
time frame
Capabilities are listed around the edge by their appropriate domains.

List of common information elements, alphabetically
by name
The tables below list all of the information elements common to more
than one capability in the FFP1 time frame. For each information element,
the table shows which capabilities use or provide that element. All capabilities
accessing the flight object will have read-only access to aircraft identifier,
aircraft type, equipment in use, unique data link address, and computer
identifier.
Caveats
- Information elements are candidates for information to be shared by
the capabilities planned for the FFP1 time frame
- Information elements actually implemented as part of the flight object
in this time frame are yet to be determined (see related
issues)
- Control-related information will only be available to ATM service
providers and their capabilities
- Flight object work is still in progress for the data link capabilities

Key Operational Needs for Sharing Flight Object Information
- Improved consistency in flight planning through use of common information
elements
- Improved transition between oceanic and en route airspace
Top of Page
Opportunities to Share Information
- FFP1 capabilities can access common information elements for creating
trajectories
- URET CCLD and enhanced oceanic capabilities can share conditions at
boundary between en route and oceanic airspace
- Predicted problems
- Trial plans
