Real Aircraft Navigation Data Statistic and Rule Analysis

To understand the actual flying rules of aircrafts in air and discriminate real and simulated aviation, the actual statistical navigation data is calculated in this paper. These data are collected from the real flight radar track and flight plan of ATC system. By means of statistical mathematics, the acceleration, deceleration, climb and descent rate, average speed, and probability densities of varieties of aircraft types are obtained. Varieties of aircraft types show different performance and flight rules by analysis of these graphs and charts. If the aircrafts are in a similar class such as A319, B737, and B757, their flying performance would have little difference in the analysis result above. Otherwise the difference is obvious, e.g. YN12 and A319 etc. The result indicates that it is very important to consider the influence of flight condition, performance, ATC rules, regulations of airline companies, and pilots´ operation habits, which are important factors to improve the fidelity of flight simulation.
