Airport operational core concepts for management of Arrival, Turnaround and Departure
| # | Core concept | Airport Master | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aircraft Movements / Flight legs centricity → Not Arrival / Departure centricity, no explicit object for these. Flight legs (also Flight and Flight Segments) planned and actual ACFT: Airline planes, general aviation, helicopters, UAVs, ... → impact on an airports capacity | AODB | |
| 2 | Turnaround
| AODB | |
| 3 | Aircraft Ground Movements | ||
| 4 | Fixed resources Gate/Stand, race tracks, ... - AODB has references to master transactional data | RMS |
Extended concepts / parking place
| # | Functionality |
|---|---|
| 1 | Generation of an airport internal unique flight leg identifier External IDs do not reliably exist in all cases. |
| 2 | Matching ATC (ICAO) / Airline (IATA) flight leg data Merging duplicate flight leg data (ATM and schedule data) |
| 3 | Matching/enriching flight leg data with airport resource information Plan/actual: Stands/Gates, Racetrack/Carousel (arrival) |
