Each OEM delivers Flight Operations data using proprietary formats◦ May differ from one airplane program to another
program for an OEM
◦ Mix of structured and unstructured formats
XML, SGML
Published data (e.g. PDF)
◦ Proprietary data models…
…and tools
◦ No shared basic concepts
![Page 3: Enhanced Flight Operations Data Exchange using ATA Spec 2300](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55a1f2b81a28abef0a8b461f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Need specific/separate systems to manage Flight Operations data for each OEM/program
OEM manuals ◦ Airlines often need to customized OEM manuals◦ Airline also publish in-house manuals (SOPs) that often
cross or combine fleets from multiple OEMs Airline manuals may require specific airline proprietary
formats/tools
Configuration management and other transversal requirements : no opportunity to use same level or technology
Industry publishing solutions providers can convert multiple OEM FO data into a single structure, but this is costly and often involves compromise
Mixed fleet High cost

Receive data from OEM◦ Fleet manual
Calculation of revision impacts Add Airline customized data Publication◦ Fleet manual◦ A/C manual (single-tail)
Deliver to crews◦ Onboard : EFB, Paper◦ On-Ground: Paper, Computers, Tablets, Intranet
Training
A standard exchange model for Flight Operations data will allow airlines complete all these tasks with a single system.

What is it ?◦ Common vocabulary◦ Common data model◦ Common data types and data organization framework◦ Common exchange package technology (based on XML)◦ Each data provider uses the same language to deliver FO
data
What it is not !◦ No standardized manual organization◦ No standardized authoring philosophy, constraints◦ No standardized content !◦ No standardized publication process◦ No standardized style sheets
![Page 6: Enhanced Flight Operations Data Exchange using ATA Spec 2300](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55a1f2b81a28abef0a8b461f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What do we deliver: Flight Operations data types, manuals◦ Data-centric approach
Data modules are marked-up based on the content, not the organization of the manual
◦ Additional data definitions are provided to organize and publish DM into logic documents
![Page 7: Enhanced Flight Operations Data Exchange using ATA Spec 2300](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55a1f2b81a28abef0a8b461f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Flight Operations data will be delivered as a set of XML files◦ Data Modules
Technical content DM Status
◦ Publication Modules Organization for Publication PM Status
◦ Data management XML documents
External objects, such as graphics and multimedia are delivered as separate files and referenced in the technical content DMs
![Page 8: Enhanced Flight Operations Data Exchange using ATA Spec 2300](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55a1f2b81a28abef0a8b461f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Separate XML fragments
Status => metadata related to content◦ Applicability◦ Revision data◦ Metadata (approval/subset
info, tdm, qualifications, policy references, data owner…)
Different lifecycles
Opportunity to exchange only status or content separately (incremental delivery)
![Page 9: Enhanced Flight Operations Data Exchange using ATA Spec 2300](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55a1f2b81a28abef0a8b461f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Provisions for complete or incremental exchange
Revision data◦ Status Information
New, Changed, Applicability change, Unchanged
◦ Reason for update Technical or Editorial
Deleted, Moved, Textual content
◦ Revision marks Add, Modify, Move, Move and Modify
Revision data is delivered in the DM Status XML Fragment
![Page 10: Enhanced Flight Operations Data Exchange using ATA Spec 2300](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55a1f2b81a28abef0a8b461f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ACT, PCT, CCT : cross reference tables◦ Based on S1000D◦ Defines the products (aircraft table) and the conditions (list of Airplane
Modifications/Service Bulletins)
Applicability statements◦ Statement that gives the applicability for 1 DM or a specific element
Which products (aircraft), with conditions or not ?
If needed, associated with a formula of technical criteria
◦ In the DM status Can define inline applicability (using XPATH to
address the element in content)
Container/alternates◦ Different DMs of the same subject for
different configurations (applicability) are called alternates
◦ Alternates are grouped in “interface” DM called container.

General purpose◦ Repositories allowing data factorization, provided as data
modules
Repository types◦ Glossary
Set of definitions for abbreviations referenced in content◦ Qualifier (dispatch, avionic contexts)
Business qualification of content such as Impacts on performance of a dispatch condition Limitations on landing capabilities due to a dispatch condition Code of data received from avionics systems allowing to index an
alert for a procedure
◦ Link target summary Set of resolved links targets information Allows resolution of links to data outside of an exchange
package

Are found in the spec :◦ Information Layers
Three layers are available – Need to Know, Nice to Know, Expert Knowledge
◦ TDM Temporary data module
◦ Major event High priority for a set of data
◦ External applications Opportunity to reference external applications (such as
Performance applications) from the content◦ Subset
Identification of a set of data modules, part of a bulletin (OEB, OMB)
◦ Metadata related to a DM Phase of flight, crew qualification, policy references, data owner
![Page 13: Enhanced Flight Operations Data Exchange using ATA Spec 2300](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55a1f2b81a28abef0a8b461f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
An exchange package is composed of a set of objects◦ DM (content and status), PM (content and status), External
objects (graphics & multimedia)
The Exchange Package Status List provides ◦ the package content,
with related status◦ the list of deleted
resources
Delivery can be Complete or incremental◦ Only changed resources
are delivered
