Arline Operators Access Runway Analysis Data For Aircraft Performance Information

By Dora Reed


Extreme altitude, weather, and various obstacles will require alternative planning for a runway that otherwise has no issues with departures. Runway analysis can be utilized to examine how an aircraft's performance interacts with the runways situation. The AFM performance and obstacle database portions of this examination will help determine the limiting weight for a safe takeoff.

The analysis is web-based for easy access, and has been implemented by flight services all over the world. The reports contain aircraft performance, runways, and important airport information to ensure safe takeoff and landing of all aircrafts. Commercial, military, and corporate operators are all aided with this analysis service. It reduces operational costs and helps access valuable flight information for worldwide airports.

Operators use this analysis service to assess the specific runways and aircraft performance calculations. All the data from different airports, runways, and other common obstacles goes into creating this analysis. Specific aircraft performance data are accumulated to be analyzed as well. This data helps operators calculate the various engine-out procedures, and aids in problematic situations that may occur like engine loss.

This service has become the airline industry standard for discussing runway, airport, and aircraft performance information. Since it is web-based, the data is delivered quickly to optimize the operations. This analysis also aids in developing flight capabilities, which include takeoff and landing performance information.

Since this analysis is web-based, it allows for calculations of specific aircrafts or runways at any point in time. It also lets airlines know of the specific temperatures, runway conditions, and also the wind speeds of anywhere in the world. Operators can calculate the varying conditions they need simultaneously if they'd like.

Obstacles on the runway can be examined through these detailed reports. Every report will provide the details the pilots must follow in case of engine loss, and will let them know at what altitude to climb. This service also provides calculations that will let the airline operators know what maximum weight takeoff requires for safe departure.

Aircrafts use their on board performance tools or electronic flight bag systems, known as EFBs, in order to access the data provided by this service. PACE, Teledyne, and standard XML formats on aircrafts can access all the information. The system updates monthly, or every 28 days, and is based on the AIRAC revision cycle.

The Standard Computerized Airplane Performance (SCAP) industry standards are required for all aircraft performance information. As mentioned, departure and landing performance data of all aircrafts are provided with this analysis service as well. Specific engine-out departure procedures of three thousand airports all around the world are provided, as well as three hundred specific aircraft and engine data.

The analysis system still does require additional improvements. This includes integration of the flight plans and weight, as well as balance systems. This service isn't allowed for military aircraft operators unless they hold an export license. If you aren't sure of all the requirements, you can contact service providers for more information.
