Utilizing BADA (Base of Aircraft Data) as an On-Board Navigation Decision Support System in Commercial Aircrafts

The European organization for the Safety of Air Navigation is developing and maintaining BADA for use in trajectory simulation within the field of Air Traffic Management (ATM). There has been continuous research on using BADA for the estimation of fuel consumption and aviation global emission. In contrast, little attention has been paid to utilize BADA as an on-board navigation support system. In this research, we propose a framework using BADA´s operation data to check if an aircraft is operating within a recommended speed, rate of climb or descent (ROCD), or fuel flow. Various simulated flight scenarios were introduced in a controlled deterministic environment, and the results accurately verified the concept of operation.
