Opportunities in APD - Reminder
No changes in performance files but:

An ISI article (In-Service
Information) available through
1. Removal of unnecessary files AIRBUSWorld will list these files
2. Delivery of only one Low Speed file per aircraft

configuration including all optional MODs
3. Renaming of several High Speed files
Page 38

Opportunities in APD
Removal of unnecessary files:

Aircraft types in APD:
1. Performance files of aircraft types no longer in operations Same as in FCOM
in your airline:
• End of leased aircraft types
• Former aircraft types before SB application, …
2. Miscellaneous (old FMS1, old Noise files…)
Page 39

Delivery of only one file including all optional MODs
Criteria:
- Aircraft type
- MODs:
Brakes, No longer delivered
FADEC,
…
No longer delivered
All optional MODs
Delivered
included in AE214E03
AFM – Performance Database

Optional MODs:
- MODs in the configuration Effectivity to be checked in
“List of Modifications” in FCOM
(cf criteria)
- MODs in options
Page 40

Renaming of several High Speed files

File extension
Ex.
.BDC
Old Naming New Naming
Ex: A32014SC.BDC  AE214S02.BDC
Data version:
ex.
Type of data: Aircraft family:
A03
ex. ex. Aircraft model B02
G = General C = A321 ex. S02
A = Aerodynamic D = A319 115
M = Engine E = A320 211
H = A318 214
 New naming allows the use of CDL data (ex. impact of

loss of ram air outlet flap)
 No / Minor differences in performance content between
old and new formats on A320 Family
Page 41

Impact in FlySmart
FlySmart Administration
process = Same as today
1. New performance data in PEP
2. Click on “ADD AIRCRAFT” in Performance

Applications Administrator (PAA)
 Aircraft data updated in PAA
Page 42

Impact in FlySmart
Aircraft data update in PAA
 New Letter in Low speed file: ex. AE214B02 (existing)  AE214E03 (new)
 Need for new customization of “Aircraft Data” in PAA An ISI article in
AIRBUSWorld will
 Applied to minority of dispatched files today list these files
 Smooth new customization: both files (existing and new) available
in PAA
 New Name in High Speed file: A32014SC.BDC  AE214S02.BDC

 No need for new customization of “In-Flight Data” in PAA
