airborne infrastructures and services,
 to evaluate the activities of the EUFAR I3 with
regard to the demand, and
 to provide National Research Funding Institutions
with guidance for establishing multi-lateral
agreement on TA, instrumental developments
and the long term evolution of the fleet .

EUFAR Mid Term Review
The EC model for the calculation of Unit Cost is not suited
for mobile infrastructures such as instrumented aircraft or
research vessels
It is not consistent with the usual accounting methodology of
the operators, that is based on immobilisation days and flight
hours.
It is possible to define a Unit Cost based on annual direct
and indirect costs and the annual level of activities in term of
immobilisation days and flight hours.
It is also possible to estimate how many Units is an
immobilisation day, how many Units is a flight hour.
The actual cost of an experiment will thus be the sum of
units corresponding to the number of immobilisation days
plus the number of units corresponding to the number of
flight hours, multiplied by the value of the unit.
Since reseach vessels have similar concerns,
EUROFLEET and EUFAR could join for approaching
the commission and negotiate a better methodology.

EUFAR Mid Term Review
The EUFAR Web site provides comprehensive information
about aircraft, their performance, their instrumentation. A
crucial information is the planning of occupation for users to
select the aircraft and a time slot for their experiment.
The planning of occupation however is not updated regularly
It is necessary to develop Internet solutions for automatic
updating of the planning. A common software is not feasible
because the requirements of the operators are to diverse,
from excell files to commercial aircraft company software
The solution that is explored today is to develop diverse
interfaces with each operator’s application and the EUFAR
Web site.
During FP7, EUFAR and EUROFLEET could exchange
information on progress and solutions tested in both
projects.

The long term objective of the I3s is to provide access to the
infrastructures, irrespective of the origin of the applicant.
That means extendind the TA scheme beyond EC support.
Such a scheme requires the involvement of the parent
institutions supporting the infrastructures at the national
level.
EUROFLEET has already some experience as part of the
OFEG activities
EUFAR and EUROFLEET could develop common
schemes for access exchange and provision of access to
countries which are not operating such infrastructures.
In some countries, the parent institutions for aircraft and
vessels are the same
