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, computer
identifier, and transponder code.
* * 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 flight information sharing and update, reflecting flight
intent and user preferences
- Increased availability of recorded history information for post analysis
processing
Top of Page
Opportunities to Share Information
- URET, TMA,
and enhanced oceanic capabilities
can share predicted boundary crossing information
- URET could use scheduled meter fix time from TMA as a constraint,
showing the controller a predicted problem if meter fix time won't
be met
- URET and enhanced oceanic capabilities could use each other's
estimated coordination times to better model flight's transition
between oceanic and en route airspace
- Traffic Flow Management can send reroutes developed using CRCT
to sectors for problem checking (by enhanced URET) and implementation
- SMA can use pFAST
predictions for more accurate processing
- Landing runway
- Time of touchdown on runway
Top of Page
Additional Desired Information Elements
- More accurate actual departure times (URET,
TMA, Oceanic)
- User-provided flight characteristics for climbs and descents (URET,
TMA, pFAST,
Oceanic)
- Flight intent and user preferences
- RNAV route (more detail from air traffic control)
- What user would do if not cleared otherwise
- What user would prefer to do to avoid a known problem
