use case example: EFF briefing package is loaded via cellular comm. Processing of data provides additional benefit.
Lufthansa German Airlines, Dirk Zschunke
use case example: inflight update of clouds, storms, turbulence andicing areas. Efficient encoding and filtering reduces data volume.
Lufthansa German Airlines, Dirk Zschunke
use case example: FMS data crosscheck allows to identify entryerrors/differences. Access to aircraft data is key.
FMS entries can be checked with the data provided in the EFF, the
Loadsheet and the Performance calculation application.
also addresses AFM restrictions
Lufthansa German Airlines, Dirk Zschunke
use case example: EFB hosted Flight Profile application reusesfunctionality already implemented for FMS
� - on ground, FPO receives flight plan
and atmospheric data from the EFF
briefing package, similar to the FMS
� - triggered by FMS request, updated
data is retrieved from the UAD
provider (e.g. flight planning system)
� - filtered data for up to 4 altitudes is
sent to the FMS (ACARS - 3.5kB)
� - full data package for 12 altitudes is
sent to the FPO (primarily MIAM IP,
MIAM ACARS backup - <3kB)
Lufthansa German Airlines, Dirk Zschunke
