IataMvtData

Data structure that matches the data in the IATA telex type movement message.

IdentificationRequired
IATA based identifier for this flight, usually issued long before the flight actually takes place.

FlightId is normally the concatenation of OperatingAirlineIATA, FlightNumber and OperationalSuffix.

FlightId typically identifies a flight to the majority of systems, but it is not unique across time. It's unique only in conjunction with FlightDepartureDate.

Exception: Some airlines use their ICAO code (OperatingAirlineICAO) instead of OperatingAirlineIATA. This might be because they aren't an IATA member or because they just prefer the ICAO code. Regardless, this means that it is allowed to use OperatingAirlineICAO as part of FlightId.

FlightId is then defined as the concatenation of AirlineIATAorICAO, FlightNumber and OperationalSuffix.

The scheduled date (based on UTC) of departure of flight. For flights with multiple legs this is the departure of the first leg. This date must not change once set as it is used to make the FlightIds unique.
Departure airport IATA code (see AirportIATA for description of term).
Arrival airport IATA code (see AirportIATA for description of term).
AircraftData  0..1
An aircraft registration is a unique alphanumeric string that identifies an aircraft. In accordance with the Convention on International Civil Aviation all aircraft must be registered with a national aviation authority and they must carry proof of this registration in the form of a legal document called a Certificate of Registration at all times when in operation.

An aircraft can be re-registered in special cases, for instance if it's sold to an operator in another country.
Which landing system the aircraft supports.  See LandingCapability for more information.
The weight of the fuel in the aircraft at take off.
Actual take off weight. The actual weight (in kgs) including fuel, pax and cargo.
The weight, in Kilo, of the aircraft without fuel, but with everything else included (passengers, cargo).
PassengerData  0..1
The number of passengers and passive crew on board the plane, infants excluded.
PaxSeatedOnBoard = PaxAdultOnBoard + PaxChildOnBoard
CrewData 0..1
Which landing system the crew supports.  See LandingCapability for more information.
The UTC time at which the flight deck crew reported in.
The UTC time at which the cabin crew reported in.
DepartureData  0..1
Estimated Take Off Time. The estimated take off time taking into account the EOBT plus EXOT. Always UTC time.
Actual Off-Block Time. Time the aircraft pushes back / vacates the parking position. (Equivalent to Airline / Handlers ATD – Actual Time of Departure & ACARS=OUT). Always UTC time.
Actual Take Off Time. The time that an aircraft takes off from the runway. (Equivalent to ATC ATD–Actual Time of Departure, ACARS = OFF). Always UTC time.
A Delay related to a departure.
The time when the aircraft start taxiing on its's own power after pushback. Always UTC.
UTC time when next information about the flight is expected.
UTC time at which an aircraft which has moved off the ramp to make final preparations for take-off returns to the ramp due to technical or other reasons. Valid for departure flights only
ArrivalData 0..1
Estimated Landing Time. The estimated time that an aircraft will touchdown on the runway. (Equivalent to ATC ETA–Estimated Time of Arrival = landing). Always UTC time.
Estimated In-Block Time. The estimated time that an aircraft will arrive in-blocks. (Equivalent to Airline/Handler ETA –Estimated Time of Arrival). Always UTC time.
Actual Landing Time. The time that an aircraft lands on a runway. (Equivalent to ATC ATA –Actual Time of Arrival = landing, ACARS=ON). Always UTC time.
Actual In-Block Time. The time that an aircraft arrives in-blocks. (Equivalent to Airline/Handler ATA –Actual Time of Arrival, ACARS = IN). Always UTC time.
A Delay related to an arrival.
Forced return 0..1
The ALDT after a forced return. Always UTC.

Alternative arrival 0..1

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include'

No link could be created for 'ADD:AlternateArrivalAirportIATA'.

The estimated landing time (ELDT) at an AlternativeArrivalAirportIATA. Always UTC.
Supplementary information 0..1
Supplementary information about "something". Often used in IATA messages.



Delay

See DelayOrDiversionCode for definition of term.
A sub-code further identifying the reason for this delay. See DelayOrDiversionSubCode for legal values.
Textual description for the DelayCode, ref. DelayOrDiversionReason.
Duration of the delay. Typically used in conjunction with DelayCode. DelayDuration makes in theory possible to calculate a new estimated departure/arrival time, but in practice this is difficult as it isn't given what DelayDuration is relative to.
