Airinc: in development
System components
 APS
(Background processing)
 Message recognition
 Message interpretation
 Perform custom routing
For example:
 Receive OOOI, transform to MVA, forward to Operations control
system
 Receive loadsheet from W&B, uplink to aircraft
 Receive engine report, transform and transmit to engine
performance system
 Receive message from aircraft and transmit to other aircraft
System components
 Ar-Com Online
(browser enabled)
 Show inbound message details
 Alert users about critical messages
 Uplink to aircraft
 FSD : Flight Situation Display


